Naturi Naughton Instagram – 💔😢DADDY…I never imagined my life without you! Losing you is my biggest heartbreak! 💔I will miss Your WISDOM, your strength, your unwavering love& support, your voice, your MANY life stories and how you survived in this world, your laugh, your powerful prayers, your playfulness, your ability to see ten steps ahead of me… just all our MEMORIES! I don’t know how I will do this without you! 😭 YOU were my Giant, my superhero, and you made me believe that even as a little Black Caribbean girl from the inner city, I could be a superhero, too! In your eyes, there was NOTHING I couldn’t achieve! You permitted me to DREAM BIG and in color!
Thank you for letting me make mistakes, and even when I was hard-headed at times, you still loved me while I cleaned up my mess! Thank you for ensuring that we went to St.Croix as a family& showing me how rich our family history is. Thank you for making it a REQUIREMENT to watch ROOTS and THE TEN COMMANDMENTS multiple times in our household. Lol! “Kunta Kinte’…Behold, the only thing greater than yourself!” ☺️💪🏾 Thanks For making me come to the table to eat, for NOT letting me get that tattoo I wanted at 15 years old or the belly button piercing I begged for. Thanks for being stern and not letting me do what I wanted at the time, which saved me from regret later! Thanks for taking us to DISNEYWORLD (2 years in a row), building a swing set that lasted for 30 years & buying me a Singalodeon for Christmas so I could practice singing & recording my own songs! For helping me pick the right neighborhood when I moved to Brooklyn for POWER & insisting that I NEVER SETTLE!
JOB WELL DONE, Daddy! That dark-skinned Cruzan boy came to the mean streets of Brooklyn and made a good life! A full life! You were educated, had 52 YEARS of marriage & raised two beautiful & strong children, and wore a tracksuit like no other! 😜! May you rest peacefully now… although this hurts, I promise you that your hard work will not go in vain! The Naughton legacy lives on! We will live on for you! I love you, Daddy…today, tomorrow, always! 💔 #NaughtonStrong #MyDaddy #RIPDaddy #GodIThankYou | Posted on 29/Apr/2024 21:30:00
