YOUR DAY DAY'S
A Fatherhood Celebration
Dad, Mr. Otis Winfree We're Missing You
By, Your Son James Winfree Sr,
To the dad's we are missing, And to those who are still with us:
My love, I can not stand this. at times It is just too hard to be away from you. I am usually okay, but at times like this (especially right now on father's day) it just becomes too much to bear. I went to sleep thinking of you dad. And dad you were still with us when my daughter Tarsha was born, and since you left Betty and I added James Jr, Jeremiah and Benjamin our youngest.
I just have to tell you in my words, dad to share with you that sacred part of my inner, secret life, the thoughts I think that everyone has but does not always say. I know that sometimes pride gets in the way of expressing emotions. I believe that is the cause of my reticence in telling you how I feel sometimes, that and the fact that passion in an extreme state can be scary, you almost just want to shut it away for fear that it will eventually destroy you. I think of my feelings, my love for you not with craving or with hope or even desire, but just with a kind of wonder that such things could be. You have opened my eyes to how love should feel. I can promise you this, I will never again settle for less, and dad you have left us to go and be with some of your children in the order Charles, Mattie Bee, Roberta, Otis Jr, Gladys and then your wife our mother Mrs. Gladys join you all, the rest of us will see you all in the morning.
But, at this time in both of our lives, we are surrounded by possibilities of choice, open doors and wide horizons, which I know, may come between us. But I also know and hope that they could eventually bring us together, with all of us being better people for the time we spent apart. And so for now I function with Jesus Christ my Savior and God is my Spiritual Daddy by my faith. And even though you are far away, you're all that I can here when you took the time and sat me down and said you believed in me, but the rest of them may not, I carry you with me through all my days and I miss you more than I can say. Also, mom and the rest of our family, remember this our heart words goes every where even to heaven in Jesus Name - I love you no less than if you were right here now.
I know I have a tendency to be impetuous at times - thus the reason for this heartfelt letter on father's day. I think I will put it now online, because it might help others who dads are gone or they is not with them. I love you and am waiting for the day when we will be together again so l can put my arms around you and the family again. But first I want to see Jesus the One who gave His All for me. Period
Love always, Until the morning
James Winfree Sr,
