Papa otherwise known as "Annie's dad", treated me like a daughter. I can still hear his voice in his African accent saying "Hello Deja how are you? How are your parents." He held such a patient and loving demeanor. He was my best friend's rock and twin. The one she would call on for help, the one she would tease, the one she called "Daddy", just like Hillary Banks on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He is already dearly missed but I pray his memory can continue to bring light and smiles to us because that's what I remember whenever I was with Annie and papa.
