WHY SO MUCH?

To My World,

You are the sun and the moon that revolves around the world you gave me, "LIFE". That gift cannot be replaced or duplicated for that matter. The D.N.A., and unique print designed by two architects I call my parents, is more appreciated than you will ever know. The level of admiration I have for you is off the charts. You are seen only as a King and Queen, on their throne. The value of this kingdom; otherwise known as our family tree, is a treasure. I can only keep our memories and experiences under full lock, and key. When I look back, I only remember feelings of unity and togetherness. The values instilled as a child have never left my side and never will!

Because of our solid foundation, I can stand in dignity. I can look another in their eyes, and hear the soul speak. Together you have been my rock, a support system unmoved and unshaken. We have withstood the test of time, and now I understand, and fully see why I love you so much.

Much more than a hero, or a mentor. More than a respected teacher, or team coach. Not only a reason; but "the" reason I can see the beauty in ashes. You are the reason I can smile in confidence with a cup of coffee in the morning's sunrise. I simply wanted and needed to voice my declaration of appreciation and love to my Mom and Dad. You are a championship duo! A match made in heaven, My prize possession. A pre-determined script I'm certain was no accident. This fact alone and the love you have for one another solidifies my purpose/calling. A gathering of the chosen few, to give a piece if not all of the knowledge you gave, throughout the seed of your conquest!

Father; Thank you for the patience, and faith you instilled in me. My truest friend indeed! The only explanation of my existence, you have accomplished the unimaginable! If not for you I would not know the importance of the fisherman. I would not have the faith or courage to stand firm in the wilderness. Mother; You are my nearest and dearest! You taught me the meaning of compassion and unconditional love. Respect in my reflection comes from the kindness you attribute. The intellect you gave me, is something that can never be taken away. My most powerful weapon comes by way of you! I'll DEFINITELY do my part and service to continue our family tradition.

Trust and believe I hold all this closest to my heart. More than my hero, more than my mentor, or respected teachers. You mean everything! When I ask myself why you love me so much, I direct the question to you, and the answer is as plain as God's given day.

DEARLY BELOVED; We have gathered here today so I may express my deepest and sincere affection. To give flowers to the overly deserving, and remove any question or doubt that your words and lifetime of lessons have gone unheard, learned, and revered. I'm unaware of anything less than success! Prepared for nothing less than greatness! To keep it short and sweet we did it! Your legacy is stamped and sealed. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your story. A piece of the puzzle. I'll leave you with this before I once more seek your presence. Most High; Thank you for your mercy and grace. Bless those who have blessed me. Allow healing and Glory to surround and hold A MOTHER and FATHER, Because of you, everything is everything!

LETTER OF MY APPRECIATION,

Your Son, D 'Angelo E. G.
