Throughout June, we’ll be highlighting the men and boys whose stories, milestones, and presence continue to leave a mark on our family and community.
My daddy wasn’t the kind of man who expressed his love with a lot of words or affection, but I never doubted how much he cared. A military man through and through, he showed his love through his actions by providing, protecting, and always making sure I had what I needed. As his daughter, I was fortunate to be spoiled by his generosity and his quiet way of putting my happiness first. His strength, discipline, and sense of duty shaped not only his life, but mine as well.
Losing him leaves an emptiness that words can’t fully describe. But I am grateful for the lessons he taught me, the sacrifices he made, and the life he worked so hard to give me. He may not have been outwardly affectionate, but his love was evident in everything he did. The values he lived by and the memories we shared will stay with me forever. I will always be proud to be his daughter and thankful for everything he did for me. – Samaiyah Lamison
