39. 🎈

Entering the last year of a decade that’s seen me gain it all, and lose it all, and gain it all back again has me reflecting on the journey.

The blessings life has given me after a season of hardship can’t be quantified. Thankful for it all. My parents. My sisters. My brother in heaven. My beautiful future wife. My son—the greatest son a father could ask for. My son’s mother. My friends. My career. My health. My past. My present. My future. All of it made me the man I am today.

To my sweet friend who shall remain unnamed—thank you for these words on the hardest day of my year. You’ve made it a point to pour into me through every curveball life has thrown at me since we were kids and I can’t thank you enough. To know you is to love you, and I love you more than words can express. 🫶🏾🤞🏾

Emory’s dad.
Ogechi & Nnenna’s son.
Tonna, Urenna & Nonye’s brother.
Colette’s man.
Mia, Nylah, Payton, Marlee, Massi, Zay Zay, Chizara, Earth, Carmyn, Bex, Elijah, Kennedy, & Townes’ uncle.

The most important titles.

A PSA to my young fellas out there: the greatest gift you can give yourself as a man is to do the work.

This one is for @colettemariehiggins.

There’s not a soul on earth who could make me smile this big over absolutely nothing—besides you (& boy boy). Words can’t express the love I have for you, what we’re building, and the journey thus far. Thank you for changing the entire trajectory of my life. It’s still just the beginning, can you believe that?!

I love you, deep.

It’ll waiver, but never lose it.
Once you do, you’ve lost yourself.
I learned the hard way.
We’re back tho. Ball up top.

My happy place is wherever she’s at; wherever E’s at. #FamilyMan🤞🏾 by @theintlfiles

6 years since you left us. 6 years since I held your hand last and told you to stop fighting and finally rest. 6 years and this day hasn’t gotten any easier. Those last moments have kept me going on days where I have nothing left to give. They’ve also haunted me at times because even though I know you fought a great fight, selfishly, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.

I hate that I don’t make it home to see you as much as I’d like, but there’s not a day that goes by where you’re not top of mind. Your presence is heavy. I was told I’m not supposed to say these things now that I’m a father, but I’d be lying if I didn’t wish we could trade places, still.

I listened to this record on repeat for months after you died. Nowadays, I’ll play it a couple of times a year just to connect. Just to cry. Usually, it’s at the house or in the car when I’m alone. Most of the time, it’s early in the morning before anyone else is awake. It’s one of the last records we listened to together on the way to your doctor’s appointment—a few weeks after the pandemic started. My second-to-last trip home before I got the call. That was our last car ride together. Silence. No words were spoken because honestly, I couldn’t find them. I still feel like I let you down in that moment because I was too scared to speak on the reality that we were facing.

In hindsight, I could tell you knew your time with us was winding down. I’ll probably never forgive myself for not having the courage to have that conversation in that moment, but I want you to know I felt every bit of it on I-5 southbound that day. I’m sorry. I hope you forgive me. I’ve lived with different iterations of survivor’s guilt for the last 6 years. Even though I’ve started making peace with it all, I want you to know that’s one of my biggest regrets as your big brother.

This photo is us to tee. Our faces. Our outfits. All of it. We had so many of these memories together. I remember this day like it was yesterday. Just us. Every time your name gets brought up these days, I can’t help but smile. You were truly everyone’s favorite. I miss you, T. I love you forever. 🤞🏾🏁 by @theintlfiles

February 20, 2022 @ 9AM——a ROCKSTAR was born.

Happy 4th birthday to my heart.

Emory, not a day goes by where you’re not top of my mind. The last thing you said, you did, the joke you cracked, the question you asked, or the personality you put on display.

In the last year you’ve drawn more pictures than we know what to do with, learned the entire solar system—planets & dwarf planets included, memorized all the major organs (& what they do), the skeleton, and now you an expert on the 50 states + capital cities. And that jump shot is still in tact, all while being your goofy ass self. You’re easily the smartest & coolest kid I know.

As we celebrate you this weekend I’d be remiss to not thank your village on my side: mom + dad, his aunties—Ure + Nonye, JR + Zay, Cat, the ENTIRE Webster family, and countless others who never fail to check in or ask about the boy regularly.

To his mother, thank you for all you do for our boy. Every last thing. Simply put, you’re the best. You’ve taught me so much about myself and the type of father I strive to be daily from following your lead. If I don’t say it enough, I appreciate you more than you know. Our son is the very best version of himself daily thanks to the foundation you’ve laid.

Lastly, to my co-pilot, Colette—thank you. You came into our lives last spring as the missing piece. I told you from day one I never needed you to be Emory’s mom; all I asked was for you to grow to love him with the same conviction as you have for me. You’ve exceeded every expectation imaginable. That boy loves you deeply and is quick to remind the world you’re part of his family.

Enough with the long talk, y’all know the drill. Show some love to baby Vegas in the comments and I’ll read them to him in a few hours.

Happy birthday twin, Dada loves you so much. 🥳🎉4️⃣🤘🏾📧 by @theintlfiles
