Wow life is funny I never knew these things about my father.
Who ever reads this be sure to have fun with your life and try to be a blessing to your children
They need you and your love.
I know that because I have never had that from Hiram and that is all I ever wanted.
He is gone now so I can tell you your children need that love and no matter what has happened to take you away from them go to them and just love them you will give your child something that only you can give that is your love.
Don't die like Hiram did without giving his baby boy love. I am hurt and I feel lost daddy's love is all I ever wanted.

I did not know that my uncle Hiram passed. I found out today from my uncle Emmett. I loved Hiram dearly. To his son Jay I feel your pain. Like Uncle Hiram I to have made mistakes with some of my kids; and I'm just keeping it real. Jay know that life happens and knowing Hiram the way I did if he could do it different he would. Be proud that you are doing the right thing and be proud of being a Lockhart. Hiram left you his strength because Lockhart's are strong. Hope to meet you cousin. God bless hiram's soul. I miss you uncle; I didn't know. Written by Rosaline black sheep Lockhart Young
