I ♥️ You

Our relationship was complicated. We were two very different people from two very different worlds. We experienced the world differently. The push and pull dynamic was ever present. We rarely saw eye-to-eye. But, the bond was unshakable. Over the course of 20 years of my life, Terrell played many roles. My ♥️. The bane of my existence. Rinse. Repeat. He often felt like my most demanding child – calling in the middle of the night when everything in his universe was falling apart. When his laundry needed done or he needed the perfect crease ironed into his jeans 🙄 Above all else, for more than two decades, he was family to me. He ALWAYS showed up when I needed him most. He stood by my side, a pillar of quiet strength, during the most difficult chapters of my life. Later, he showed up for my daughter Adrianna in the same way, and loved her as his own. I provided him safety and stability. In return, he taught me to be strong. He was convinced that I could damn near walk on water, which proved to be both a blessing and a curse. It’s because of him and the pedestal he kept me on, that I learned to love myself. He was impulsive. Entitled. Relentless. And, didn’t know the meaning of the word “boundary”. He was emotionally intelligent. Unafraid of vulnerability. His super power was listening and understanding. He instinctively knew exactly what I needed, when I needed it. Told the BEST stories. He tortured my soul, and every other relationship I’ve ever been in. And, he brought out the absolute best in me in a way nobody else ever will. It’s difficult to even imagine a world without Terrell Lee Jones somewhere out there in it. Adrianna and I are sending so much love and light to the entire Jones and Patterson families. You all will forever be in our hearts. Thank you for sharing Terrell with us. He was SO LOVED!
