Tribute to Raymond Watts Jr.

As a southern girl, this man was the strongest person I knew. He was who I looked up to for his hard work, his green thumb, and his ability with animals. I always wanted to be a vet because of the life I had living with him. Although I went into business management I have the fondest respect and love for animals of all kinds. I also know the importance of hard work and dedication to reaching your life's dream from this man.

Daddy's Big Girl

Although I only saw you,
For those first ten years,
I never forgot you,
I could tell by the tears.

I wanted to stay,
And live with the man,
Who would always take me,
Under wing, or hand.

Who taught me to love,
To laugh and be silly,
Who always played games,
and watched movies like "Free Willy".

I will always love him,
This man I admire,
Who always cared,
And even inspired.

My father forever,
Through thick and through thin,
I will always be there,
From without or within.

I love you Daddy!!

Dad Thank you for being what you are and no one else. Thank you for teaching me to be proud of myself and love wholeheartedly. Thank you for being my Dad! These words can never express how much I love you, but know that I do now and always with all my heart and soul.
