Seventh Blog Post Of The Summer - Dezarea Jones

Hey Guys! So I’m gonna leave out the majority of the details here, but bear with me on this one. The blog post right now isn’t going to be like the usual ones that I post. This is gonna be a sad one, but for good reason. “Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measures.” - Unknown. You may be able to tell what you're about to read. One day I went with Trevis and his family to his grandpa’s house in Jonesboro. I thought that it would have been so weird and just awkward. I didn’t really know anyone out there, but then I met Trevis’s papa. Let me tell yall, this man is by far the greatest and funniest man I’ve ever met. It wasn’t awkward when we first met, he made sure of that. We first met in his camper in the front yard of his house. He was sitting at the table drinking sweet tea. I was shy and didn’t say much. So he started the conversation and I felt as if I fit in. It was truly the best moment. I didn’t call him by his name, it was always papa. He joked with me as he would with his own grandkids. He has made me laugh more than anyone has. He always knew how to put a smile on my face or anyone else’s face. When you first notice him, you know there is something special about him. You can’t just pick one quality and say it’s you’re favorite about him. This man has so many great qualities and I’ll miss him. Over the years he has been very sick. Some days are better than others, but he was still hurting. Even through the pain he still smiled. You could tell his family meant the world to him! You could walk in his room and see pictures of his wife and his family. I sadly didn’t get to meet his wife, but she was gorgeous. I’m sure if she was anything like he was she was an amazing person. For almost two years that Trevis and I have been together I have grown to love this man as my own papa. So his passing has hurt me also, but not as much as his daughters and family. His daughters are going through a lot right now and are in so much pain. I usually wouldn’t do this, but can all of you please say a prayer for my second family. I wish I could be of more help to them, but I can’t. So I guess being there for Trevis is enough. Anyway this post isn’t about me or Trevis. This post is about a wonderful man who passed away on July 3rd at 11:20pm. He was an amazing person to be around. He was an extraordinary dad and grandfather. I thank God for blessing me with the chance of meeting him and having him in my life. I didn’t ever say it, but I love you.. You are missed by many, but I hope you and your wife are having an extraordinary reunion. Rest easy handsome.

Thank you all for taking your time to read this. Please I ask again for you to say a prayer for my second family. Thank you all. Love from me to you… See ya later guys!
