Eric Morgan Jr.

We are here today to celebrate a wonderful man, some may call him Junior, some might call him first cousin, son, auntie, nephew, grandson, Let me, I call him one of the most powerful and treasured names. You can call a man. I call him dad. And, that name means so much because just like one of his favorite comedy actor said “there’s a difference between a father and a dad “and that’s so true, any body can be a father, but a dad, a dad is there for you. A dad, my dad, make sure you have everything when you have nothing, a Dad teaches you how to grow as a man, a dad shows you how to present yourself as a young black man in this world, make sure you never forget where you come from, who your family is, make sure you know what respect is, what control is, who God is, and what love is. A dad doesn’t just take care of you, but he also loves you, cherish you, respects you, and understands you, shows an interest in your interest. In my life, my father has taught me so much, even if it’s just movie logic or how to grow as a man. So many lessons you have taught me, Dad one is every day isn’t promised. And for the longest time, I never believed you until now . I will live for you and me. I will live for your legacy, I will live to make you proud, I will live how you always wanted me to, I will live happy and with confidence. You never got to do so much, and I will live to do it for you, I will live to take care of my brother for you, I will live to your expectations, I will live to Remember everything you’ve taught me. I will live forever hold you in my heart. I will live to love you as more than a father but as a dad. I will miss you, Dad, I will miss calling you and we would have a competition on who would hang up first. I wish you didn’t hang up first this time dad. I will live to forever hold you in my heart. I will live to love you as more than a father, but as a dad. Torrance

Dear Dad,

I love you from the bottom of my heart. It was hard seeing you go. Everyone misses you and it's hard without you it hurts. But I will stay strong for you. Dad, enjoy yourself. You are in a better place. DeRan
