Back in 1992 I was serving as a Personnel Sergeant with your dad then SSG Harrison at Ft. Sam Houston. He was so proud when you got drafted to Orlando his smile was as wide as my office door. You came back to Ft. Sam for a minute, and we shared a table at the NCO club with some friends and had a great evening being young and focused on dreams and goals. Continued Blessings Shaq and thank you for being decent human being past, present, and future.

I can feel for this man. Left my biological dad when I was younger due to abuse with alcohol. My momma met my step dad and it all changed after that. I am entering adulthood and I have learned a bit from my step dad. I have a lot of respect for my step father and his example.

I dedicate this to my grandfather, who even wasn't my biological grandfather . This was my grandmother's second husband . He never had any children by his first wife. So when he met my grandmother she had my mother and later our mother had my sister and I. She was a Teen Mom. So my pop pop is the only pop pop I've ever known. He helped raise me and my sister and showed us what a real marriage is between a man and a woman who truly love and respect each other. And he loved my mother as if she were his own daughter. He passed away in 1999, and we truly miss him, and the funny thing is my grandfather always encouraged me to stay positive about my father and to forgive him. Which played a large role later in life even though my grandfather passed away in 1999 my biological father wind up back into my life in 2002 and giving me away when I got married in 2005 and I named my youngest son after my pop pop. I had 10 good years with my biological father before he passed 2012. It's so true that God works in mysterious ways. Rest in peace, Ronald deal 😢❤ #Mymalerolemodel
