#soulfulsunday I can't believe it's been 10 yrs ⬅ Everything is abbreviated. No one appreciates the art of beautiful cursive handwriting anymore. There are no real need for paper maps anymore. You need vaccines to really travel outside the country. I'm married. Again. So much has happened and every moment I just wish you would've been here with me. No one knew me better. I still have your number saved in my phone and I wish I could call you though I had that line disconnected with B myself. All I can say is I miss you. I choose this picture because I know it was the proudest day of your life. To see one of your children receive their college degree was your greatest hope and she made it come true...for both of us. You would be so proud of the woman she has become. I know you're looking down on us and I just want yo say you are loved and never forgotten. Thank you for being my angel. #enjoyeverymoment #livelifetothefullest #daddysgirls w/ @locd_n_learnin #ripjoebailey https://www.instagram.com/p/CRLK5RzjN4P/?utm_medium=tumblr

I miss you. Thank you for spending your adult life being my dad. Thank you for all your love, support, sacrifices, and understanding. I realize you live on through me on this earth and I pray I'm making you proud up there. Thank you for being my angel. I love you Daddy. #happyfathersday #ripjoebailey #guardianangel #ancestralenergy #blackfathersmatter✊🏿 #thankyou #jetjune #black365 https://www.instagram.com/p/BywdT9uD5Vj/?igshid=zizgh1bae7d0

I had a father who wiped noses, and tears, braided hair, and gave the best hugs. His smile and laughter were contagious, and he had the biggest heart. He always said if you can't help somebody at least don't hurt them, but always try to help. He taught me to never be afraid to try something new, go somewhere new, or learn something new. He was supportive and genuine in his desire for me and my sisters to be happy. No one understood me better, and he gave solid but sometimes hard to swallow, advice that has had a great affect on my life. I feel like I miss him more every day, but the memories are innumerable and have turned my grief into a gratefulness that helps me live with the pain of his absence. A child only gets one father and I feel like I was one of the lucky ones after all was said and done. I know he's watching over me and the boys and my sisters and sending us love and protection. And I just wanted to say Happy Birthday Daddy. #ripjoebailey #missyoudaddy #flashbackfriday #thisismyblackhistory #darkdecember https://www.instagram.com/p/Brp-8Pgn7wg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i9t72ru1abip
