Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III a.k.a. Dad: What up old man. I don't know when you will read this but I hope it's not on your death bed. I'm just kidding because for a 50+ year old you are in good shape plus I have good word that you are going to be around for awhile because you aren't done yet. Dad I love you. You are a great man and father. Thank you for accepting me, not for just being gay but allowing me just to be me. I know you didn't get that with your father and I want to be the one to tell you I never wanted for anything and you made it easy to love you and be loved in return. You taught me to be respectful, strong, and how to love. I'm glad that I got to taste a little of what you have with Liv. Dad, you and Liv taught me about love and I couldn't think you guys anymore for that. When I first found out about you guys I was mad but I was happy because I saw how happy she made you and I wanted that, but when you didn't divorce mom for Liv I started to resent you for that. I didn't understand how you said you loved someone but didn't do everything in your power to be with that person. I soon found out how that was possible. When I cheated on Zaire he forgave me and I don't know why but I did everything in my power until my last breath to prove to him that I was sorry and I truly was in love with him. I always said I would never be like that and I wouldn't make your mistakes but I did. I did the worst thing to him I broke his heart, and broke his trust in me. But we found our way back and I'm glad we did because he was the best decision in my life. I miss him terribly and the reason I'm telling you this is because we will never have these conversations again. I won't be able to call on you when we have an argument over where to live, where to get married, or even who forgot to take out the trash. We won't get those moments and that hurts but I accept it. We had got our time even though I want more. Dad you are a great man and I wish I could have the chance to show you that I wanted to be like you. You are my hero. God I hate that I won't be able to talk, play basketball, or even hug you anymore. But know that I am happy for you and I love Liv. She's what's best for us all. She's the only one who can brighten your dark days. Never doubt your love for each other and never doubt the love I had in you. I'll miss you everyday daddy. I won't say bye but I will say I will be waiting. Ohh and I can't believe I'm saying this but have some babies with Liv, you both deserve to have kids that are made from pure love. Just so you know that was so gross to write and think. Dad you are/were the most important man in the world. You do have power use it. Love your first born.
