Babygirl and her Old Dad. This photo was taken in Tallahassee at his good friend (fellow minister) daughter's wedding.. This was the summer before everything changed...My only trip to Disneyworld and first time I visited his #mississippi homestate. I still remember going on the Dumbo ride with him.. His last fully healthy summer B.S. (Before Stroke) My Daddy grew up on a farm in a big family. As I recount in #babygirl play when I portray him (my favorite part): "I was the chosen one of ten chillun'." Even when I, his only daughter found another branch of the family tree in 2016..(I was running out of family).. through #ancestry they had heard of him! (My grandfather's brother's line) The only record of his birth was in the family bible. The word: February "I picked the fo'teenth" Happy 100+ Birthday Daddy.💚 (Green was his favorite color) Love, Your Babygirl💜 #olddad #girldad in the best way he could with his emotionally unattached self - typical for Black men in his era - provider not nurturer - he did his best with what he knew - I forgave him in my late twenties..and continued on with a lighter load.. #daddydaughter #babygirlplayera #babygirlbook #babygirlplay #babygirltvshow You heard it here first folks. #staytuned What #valentinesday means to me. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ9dBPWuArN/?utm_medium=tumblr
