Papi,
There are a lot of things you used to tell me about being a husband before I asked your daughter to be my wife.
"Be patient..." "When emotions talk, it's not the person, it's the vulnerable thoughts of giving in to life."
Outspoken you are, everyone knows you always meant good.
I'm a couple of years in my own marriage, I know all about being misunderstood.
Different moods changing like different seasons, we've both shared.
I guess those are the times you told me to beware of tempers flared.
36 months and you still are missed.
Two Grandkids and 4 women, our loss has become an annual emotional tryst.
Your legacy of love will not go unnoticed as we pray that you continue to watch over us.
Thank God for the conversations we had, words of wisdom you shared, and qualities of a man you informed your daughter to attract.
We love you and celebrate your time in Heaven instead of the missed times of sorrow.
I will continue to protect your daughter since I took her hand in marriage I vow.
Bòfis Marcques
