In Memory of Eddie Kendrick: Love You Aika Kendrick

I saw a post on a one of my Facebook friend's wall about how much she missed her dad, so I write:

God calls us when our purpose on earth is completed.
God calls angels to come to heaven as needed.

My baby girl... I'm looking down from heaven's window on you,
Know that I hear and see everything you do.
Also know that I'm never far when you need to say my name,
My love still loves you all the same.

Though we all wish we had more time when death calls... we don't,
God will never weigh you down with more than you can handle... He won't.
As the days pass and you're missing me more than ever,
Know that I send my love whether it be through the humming birds or weather.

When the wind blows hard, I'm wrapping my arms tightly around you,
When the birds chirp, I'm singing and hoping my song has found you.
When the rain pours, I'm crying tears of happiness and love,
When the thunder roars, I'm screaming I love you... just because.

Aika, words can't describe the way I feel each moment of every day,
God called for me so in the heavens in where I'll stay.
Your father's love will always and forever be,
Aika Kendrick... you are such a blessing that God gave to me.

I look at my grandson with a smile... congrats on motherhood,
You should be very very proud darling... yes you should.
When you look at the clouds, know that I'm looking down on you,
I did not just up and leave... God said I had to.



I love you,
Dad (Eddie Kendrick)
