130: For my Dad

This is my dad Geoffrey Fernandes

I wasn’t ready to miss him when he left me
but this is the eulogy he should’ve gotten 7 years ago.
He may not have always been the best father but at the end of the day he was mine and I am grateful to have loved him.

I am grateful that Errol got to love him too, and that my girls got the chance to call him Papa.
I am glad that Thea and Jodi got to know a grandfather who loved them more than I could have ever imagined.

There is soo much I wish I had the chance to tell you but Errol, the girls and I miss you every day.
I know this is a little late, but tonight we’re going to drink to everything you were to us; a father who tried (in the end) and the best papa in the world to our girls ❤️

Thinking of you today & always,

Your Joey

I love this piece Joey! So glad he had the girls to cuddle and call him papa. Must’ve been healing for him to feel that closeness
