What would you like to say to your Father's on their Special day coming up? I would like to say. Thanks Daddy for marrying Madear and having us. Thanks for setting an example of what a man should be like. Thanks for telling all of our boyfriends this: "If you have to hit/lay your hands my daughter(s) send her/them back home to me ." Thanks for providing food to go on our table of 8 people. Thanks for talking to me about the "facts" of life and how life can sometimes throw you a curve ball; and when that happens to roll with the punches...it is only a learning curve. Daddy, Daddy, Daddy I know that I will see you again and then I can tell you how I turned out and what my purpose in life ended up to be. For the Lord has a purpose for everybody. Happy Father's Day! (Thanks Buddy for kicking the spirit of Mother's Day off, so I felt it appropriate for somebody to kick off Father's Day.)

My daddy was large in life and even bigger in death. I love him for so many reasons. I value the lessons taught by him and we pass them on as immeasurable legacies. I only wish that I could have one more day with him. To see him laugh. To see him pretend not to find a joke funny, only to repeat it with more humor that when told to him. To see him raise his arm above his head and say, "come, let me hold you, little girl". Just one more time. I leave you to read this poem...............
You never said “I’m leaving, you never said “goodbye”. You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why. There are no words to tell you just what I feel inside the shock, the hurt, the anger might gradually subside. A million times I’ll need you, a million times I’ll cry. If Love alone could have saved you dad you never would have died. In Life I loved you dearly; in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place that no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you. But you didn’t go alone, for part of me went with you, the day God took you home. Things will never be the same and all though it hurts so badly, I will smile whenever I hear your name. And be proud you were my Dad.
Although things will never be the same!
My daddy, Mr Melvin Taylor
In Deepest, Comforting and Remembrance Loving Memory:
Mr. Alvin V. Young - July 17, 1906 to October 18, 1981.
The Man/Father of the hour----My Daddy...the man with the deep and roaring voice that drew attitude and called you to listen. I listened...we listened....we responded. Oh, how I love my Daddy, Oh, how I love my Daddy. He brought me love, he brought me hope, he brought me strength and all of the above. He stood for righteousness, and wholesomeness and community and worldly love, because love was the root for salvation and family bond. If Daddy was here I'd say: You have 6 great grandchildren. Corey D has five - two girls and three boys. Dwayla, your granddaughter, born Dec. 28, 1983 to me and Dwight, (whom you never met ) has one child, born July 13, 2012, almost on your birth date is beautiful, just like the other great grandchildren. Daddy, Madear, Winnie and Mary is gone too, (but you know that alright because they are right beside you.) Tell them hello. I talked to all of them last night and they told me all was well....all was well. Daddy, tell me what is it like above the clouds and in Heaven? Daddy tell me...are the streets paved with Gold? Tell me how does Our Father, who art in Heaven doing? I talked to him last night and this morning too. I shall see you again, because Our Father said that and whatever he says is TRUTH! Daddy, Happy Father's Day to and to all of the Father's around the world.
To the campus family who still have their Father's or any man figure who played the Father role, kiss them for me too, for they are treasures to have on such a lovely Father's Day.
If heaven had a Father’s Day….I’d visit for a while.
I’d have my arms held out so far, my hug would stretch a mile.
In my Father’s eyes I’d see, the beauty of the day.
I don’t think anyone, or thing, could keep me far away.
I’d sit and chat with him about, all the days gone by.
We’d laugh and smile and reminisce, high up in the sky.
I’d have so much to share with him, I’d never want to part.
But all too soon the day would end, heavy in my heart.
Every moment from then on, I’d think of him so dear.
Sitting in those puffy clouds, smiling ear to ear.

O Daddy, I miss you more than words can say….Oh heaven if it’s true?
Would you have a day for us? To last the whole year through.
Happy Father’s Day…from here to there to my Dad, I Miss and Love You~~
