Edgar, My Dad...
By E'Dobo Rose
Edgar, my dad, my dearest, genuine best friend, along with my mom, Rose! Memories rush thru me as a Tsunami! Strong, determined, 8th grade educated but degree smart self taught thru life experienced, gaining wisdom! Having commom sense in a world which is rare!
My daddy was born 9-29-1911 in River Aux Vase, Mo, the 2nd of 10 siblings on the home place,farm. Loving everything about life and what it had to give him down to the smallest of living cells to the biggest life forces and objects on earth & heaven! There was nothing i can recall that could stop him from seeing this life as thru the eyes of a child until a few weeks ago when he got ill & death took him on 4-22-06!
Dadddy taught me to love life, to be a strong, loving, indepentant, open-minded, on going learning, giving, positive, can do anything, creative, non-bias, talk to anybody, funny, jolly, free spirited human being!
Both my parents loved unconditional each other over 59 yrs, til death stole mom on 4-18-05! Love need not be expressed thru words, was not needed from my dad. His actions proved his love for all that met & knew him! Even towards the last of his life, daddy's confused mind was still loving mom, us 5 kids & life! Daddy saw & took the time to not just smell the roses! He planted them, plus many other plants! He raised me to appreciate everything in life, esspecially my health, hard work! I want to scream with happiness for having a dad and mom so blessed with talents that they shared all with me & everyone! Until we meet again!
