It is clear to all who know Nakia as well as I do that he has found the best of his family and life experiences coupled with his own inner beleifs and hard work and made himself a man his father was proud of. That is what our lives are about.

much love,

Roggie

I just heard about this a few minutes ago from a co-worker. My thoughts go out to you and Robert. Be safe going to Alabama.

Sorry to hear of your loss. This entry is very nice, and so glad to hear of your getting closer. It brought a tear to my eye.

God bless him. And your family.

I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I know something of what you are going through, as I lost my father in 2003 after his battle with Emphysema and CPOD. I first met you, Nakia, when working at Pizza Hut years and years ago. You were still a kid in school, I believe. I first met Diego and Vincent, or “Taco”, years later after I had come home from the service and got a job where they worked at Ferguson’s. Later, when I worked at the paper in Rainsville your dad would often come by with pictures or information about what the VFW was doing.

The whole time I knew him, “Taco” was nothing if not a gentleman. He was respectful of others, he was normally very good humored, and I thought a great deal of him. The world will seem to me to have a bit less light with his passing.

My own experiences taught me that as difficult as this time in life can be, words are often just words. Often people said things to me when my dad passed away that I either do not remember now or did not want to hear at the time. I wanted to be left to my own grief. People said things like “it will get better.” I never found that to be true…I only found that it gets easier to bear as time goes on. Not better. Easier.

If you want to talk, at any time, I’m there for you. I grieve with you. I’m truly sorry for your loss.

While I can only imagine what you’re going through right now, I want you to know that I’m with you in spirit. My heart goes out to you and your family. Please let me know if there’s anything at all that you need.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Love,
