My dad Jackie Morris Gerald born September 10, 1956 and passed away December 21, 2018. I am thankful the lord let me have 34 years of my life with my Daddy even though when I was 11 years old I had to do a lot of growing up in some ways, as well as learn to deal with the fact that my Daddy would never again b the same as he was for those first 11 years of my life. This being caused by a brain aneurysm filled by 2 strokes both affecting the same side of his brain as his anarysum had. That was a hard thing for me to deal with and learn to get use to. I loved my Daddy very much and I know he loved me and my sister and his grand children very much. We may have fit like cats n dogs once he got sick and sometimes before but that was just our way of getting along. I always said I was daddy's little boy he never got to have because I was a big tomboy as a little girl and still am today even now that I have 2 boys of my own.
