To my Godfather Bobo.
Before I was born, my family picked you to be my Godfather. Through the years we shared a special bond.
While I was growing up it seemed like you were always there. Making me laugh, letting me think I was your receptionist at your office when I was young, giving up your 21st birthday to be there when I was born, and so much more.
My memory has faded and all I have are pictures now to remember how close we were. When I had a son, my grandma (your mom) said that a mom and a son have a special bond. I remember that every day. I know you had a special bond with her.
When she left this earth 15 years ago, things changed and I no longer saw you as much. That made me sad.
But now I know you are back with her, and God has returned your strength and humor. My grandma has her boy back.
I believe that you are watching over all of us now. I know you are. But until we all meet again, remember the lights in heaven don’t need to be turned off when you leave the room.
For the rest of our family, one day, you are going to hug your last hug and hear someone’s voice for the last time, so live every day as if it were the last time you will be with each other, until the heavens permit it again.

He had the weirdest and most quirky sense of humor than anyone I had the honor of knowing, even more than my late dad, and my dad LOVED hanging out with him when they could. He was so kind and giving and loved his family sooooo much. I feel lucky to have grown up getting to know him as parental figure, and later in life as a friend. He will be truly be missed.
