JA’QUAVIAS DALOYD HENDERSON November 9
True Love And Don’t Be Blinded By The Truth!
The “sad” destruction of my people has awaken the beauty of the prophets, not sparing his own “Angels” when they sin, but casted them down to be in chains of darkness for eternity. I thank my living “God” that I have “lived” to see the reward of the wicked, sad but true.
Jeremia’h and Ja’Quavias say they love you, too.
My beloved, my time is almost up, but I must speak the truth in love.
And just as beautiful as the flowers blossom, true love is ever- lasting.
Love in paradise to my 2 sons, Jeremia’h and Ja’Quavias. Love “L” your father, always and forever.
