FROM: MR. JOHN A. HARRIS, DADDY OF MR. KYLE A. JONES.
SON, I LOVE YOU SO DEARLY AND I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU FROM THE FIRST MOMENT I LAID EYES ON YOU IN THE HOSPITAL. MY HEART MY SOUL BELONGED UNTO YOU ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL OTHERS. ONLY GOD OUR HEAVENLY DADDY LORD JESUS HAD A HIGHER DEEPER PLACE WITHIN ME THAN YOU. I LOVED YOU THEN AND EACH EVERY DAY FROM THE HOUR OF YOUR BIRTH EVEN UNTO THIS DAY AND HOUR. IN MY MIND I JUST CANNOT EXCEPT THAT YOU ARE GONE AWAY FROM ME. TORN APART FROM ME BY A FORCE I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE NOR EXCEPT YET. I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHALL EVER BE ABLE TO EXCEPT THAT DEATH HAS HAD THE POWER TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME. KYLE MY SON I CRY FOR YOU NO LESS THEN ONCE A WEEK MAYBE EVEN TWICE EACH WEEK. MY DEAREST BABY I MISS YOU SO MUCH TO THE POINT THAT NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE THE PLACE OF YOU NOT EVER IN MY LIFE TIME. I PRAY—DEAR GOD OUR HEAVENLY DADDY. PLEASE JUST ALLOW ME TO SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL BABY FACE, SINCE THAT IS MY LAST PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF YOU AT AGE 3YO AND A TENDERLY GOODBYE HUG KISS BETWEEN SON AND DADDY. THAT IS MY LAST MEMORY OF YOU UNTILL THAT FINAL LONG GONE NEVER TO RETURN DAY. I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS REAL. I JUST CANNOT EXCEPT IT IS FOREVER OVER THAT I SHALL NEVER BE ABLE TO LOOK IN YOUR EYES AND SEE YOUR SMILE. IF IT WERE NOT SO SELFISH, I RATHER IT BE ME THAT IS LONG GONE AWAY THAN YOU MY DEAR SWEET BABYBOY. I PRAY GOD OUR DADDY WILL FORGIVE ME FOR THE HURT ANGER FEAR AND BLAME I HOLD DEEP WITHIN MY HEART AND SOUL. DADDY FORGIVE US BOTH FOR OUR LACK OF TRUST IN YOU. HE FOR HIS PART ME FOR MY PART. I OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN A BETTER DADDY JUST AS YOU ARE TO YOUR DEARLY LOVED SON – JESUS – I MISSED THE MARK OF A DADDY SON. I PRAY THAT GOD OUR HEAVENLY DADDY SHALL FORGIVE ME THAT YOU SHALL FORGIVE ME THAT YOUR MOTHER, SISTER, BROTHER, EVERYONE OF YOUR FAMILY WILL ONE DAY FORGIVE ME. I ALSO PRAY THAT MY SISTERS BROTHERS AND MY MOTHER SHALL BE ABLE TO LOOK PAST MY SHORTCOMMINGS TO FORGIVE ME FOR HOW I FAILED YOU. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FORGIVE MYSELF FOR MY FAILURES AS YOUR DADDY. THIS CAUSES ME TO CRY BITTER SORROWFUL TEARS ALL THIS LONG GONE TIMES LOST BETWEEN US TWO.
MY DEAR GOD-DADDY IN HEAVEN I PRAY MY BABY IS HELD IN YOUR ARMS THAT WE SHALL GREET EACH OTHER IN YOUR KINGDOM AND THERE LIVE WALK TALK WITH EACH OTHER FOR ALL ETERNALTY WITH YOU SIT IN YOUR LAP LOOK DEEP INTO YOUR EYES TO HEAR YOU SAY TO US BOTH MY DARLING SONS, I LOVE YOU BOTH REST IN MY ARMS BOUNCE UPON MY KNEES, LET US LAUGH SMILE GIGGLE TOGETHER AS ONE. IN JESUS NAME AMEN. 
TO WHOMEVER IT IS THAT MAY READ THIS. I MIGHT NOT HAVE SAID IT RIGHT OR AS BEST AS ANOTHER MAN-FATHER MIGHT CAN EXPRESS IT. FORGIVE ME FOR NOT SAYING ALL THE RIGHT WORDS IN THE RIGHT PLACES. THERE IS JUST TOO MANY TEARS LIKE A RIVER FLOWING THROUGH MY HEART. “GOD BLESS”

On August 18, 2015 Kyle, struggling with pleasures of life getting in the way of serving God. This was my encouragement to him.
It’s Ok to do what you want to do, Until it’s time to do what your meant to do!
 
Kyle
Most people don’t understand who you are and what your talents are. Let alone what you’re called to do.  Some things in your life are the result of your own hand, but most things are not. Have the courage to change what you can, and trust God for what you can’t change! We all have our crosses to bear, on your knees will be where you find the strength to carry yours! Don’t pray for The mountain to be removed. Ask God to give you the strength to climb it.
Over the following years, I watched as Kyle blossomed into the man that he became. I did not know of his struggles, he was always in good cheer when I would see him. The day I saw him at giant shopping center in Columbia he had the proud father look as he carried his child into the store. I knew I was in the presence of a great man of God and a friend.

I remember doing my dts with him back in 2011 to 2012 and got to travel the world with him during that time in his life.  And to se how much of a man of God he became is so encouraging to see.  The world is at loss of a great soul but he is now up in heaven with his eternal father.   My prayers go out to the family and friends during this loss.  🙏🏼
