\u201cFirst it\u2019s repeating words or forgetting little things here or there, then BOOM, he can\u2019t swallow or walk. The them that you realize gets smaller and smaller. You hold out hope for sustained eye contact or a smile; even a hand squeeze could make you’re feeling like they may come back to you \u201cnormal\u201d at any second. It\u2019s brutal and it\u2019s what he experienced, but it surely wasn\u2019t who he was,\u201d Union wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Gabrielle Union went on to praise her father, sharing that he made friends all over the place he went and all the time brought life to any room. She highlighted his strong work ethic and reflected on the various lessons he taught her through the years.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThrough every step of his life, my Dad was surrounded by love and support from his ever-growing village. I swear he never met a stranger, just friends he hadn\u2019t met yet. A lifelong, die-hard Nebraska fan, he taught me the values of teamwork, a fierce work ethic, and that you simply are only as strong as your weakest link, so are likely to them first,\u201d Gabrielle continued.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
She also called her sisters heroes for his or her unwavering support and thanked the medical teams for giving him the very best care. Union also said she’s going to miss her father but knows his love for her is everlasting. \u201cI do know I\u2019m not the primary or last Daddy\u2019s girl to undergo this, and I\u2019m sending love and healing to anyone suffering the lack of a parent. I do know his love is everlasting and can find me in every realm.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
