Dad I will miss you so much. You were so kind to me from the very beginning. I only wish that you could have met your future grandchild from us. I know that you will watch over them from above and you will be in their hearts because of all the wonderful stories we will tell them.

Every time I hear someone whistle I think of you. That's all I ever had to do was listen. Then I knew where to find you. I should have been there for you in your last days, For I had so much to say. You always loved me for who I was. You were the best Father I could have ever dreamed of. Now, I wait and dream of the day I see you again. To tell you face to face that I love you, and that you were a great father to me. That you were the bravest and most courageous man I've ever known. I only pray that god grants me the strength to carry on, now that you'll no longer be there to guide me. Rest now daddy, I love and miss you so much. I'm so sorry I wasn't there!! On my day of judgement, I don't want to hear the voice of god, or see any bright light. I just want to hear your whistle again. Then and only then will I know that I'm finally home. I Love You daddy......I will see you again! Your Son, Jason.
