Well Dad another year is among us. There are not enough words to tell you how much I miss you. I wish I could see your grin once again but then again that would freak me out and I would probably have a heart attack I am far from a spring chicken theses day. Sept 25th is not my favorite day of the year :(

You know what, I am so tired and it feels like things are falling apart sometimes. Just because I miss you, I am going to blame you for a little while. Since you have been gone, nothing feels the same. Stinks to have the holidays come and not see you across the table.

I'd like to give my sincere condolences to the Randall family. In my time that I got to know Dick, he was a good man, a devoted family man and a hard, honest worker.If there were more people like Dick in this world, it would surely be a better place.

Just me
February 24, 2009
Hello, I'm sitting here at work bored out of my mind and started to think about you. Dad so many people family, friend,and relatives have told me that things will never be the same only different. God they got that right! I just wish you were here, there are some many things that are changing in our life’s both good and bad and you would have the answers or the advice we need. I never realized how much I cherished the years I had with you. However, I realize how much I miss you! The other day a person that I worked with asked me what it was like to lose my dad I told them it would rather have someone stick burning hot daggers in my eyes and still don’t think that would hurt as bad. As old as I am I never thought it would be like this. Life always seemed to be so simple with you here. People tell me that you are watching over us but, I wish your were beside me watching things with us. I ate sugar wafers the other day and they don’t taste the same, I hear a song on the radio and think of you, at times I sit and wish I could go over the house and see you sitting in your chair in the kitchen or on the couch reading a book. This summer who’s going to plant flowers and what about the mulch? Dad when you are watching over us, do you think I’m a total goof when I go over the house and talk to you when nobody is home? God Ma would have me in a nut house if she saw me sitting on the bed talking to a urn but, I know you're in there. Gosh when we bought your first urn it was to small I don’t think you were really on that diet! So we had to get the extra large one. Boy if we ever have to buy another urn or anyone asked me about what size to get their loved one, I will have to tell them extra large. I don’t care if they weigh 100 lbs the craziness we went through all I can say is WOW. Well I have to run at least make it look like I’m working anyway. I’ll stop by again soon. If by any chance you are watching over us then you will see things are going great for me, I'm very happy, the kids are well. Some of the changes I have made you would be happy and proud of me. Love you then, Love you now, most of all love you still.
Miss you,

December 3, 2008
I found my self going for a ride the other day. I had no destination, it was my day off and I had nothing to do but I didn’t feel like sitting in the house any longer. I found my self on Ames street coming up to Sawtell. Then I asked my self where was I going no one would be home it was only 10am my sisters were in school, Mom was at work Ma was at Auntie’s, then I thought well maybe Papa would be home (like when I would come down from NH on the weekdays and I would stop by before I went were I was going) But I quickly shook this off and thought how silly I was to think you would be home. I decided to keep driving; I thought perhaps this wasn’t where I was heading. Soon enough I turned onto Sawtell then onto Bellevue. I slowly drove up the street remember when I would come over and just sitting with you even if it was for only a few minuets and nothing was said but a simple hello it still made me happy. I pulled up in front of the house where I sat for a few minuets, while I whished you would pull up soon, that you had only go to the store or the track. I went into the house. It feels different there now without you. I sat on the couch and I watched the girl cat in the window. It’s kind of like she too is waiting for you to come home, so in a way I didn’t feel as funny hoping such a childish thing. Then she came and sat on my lap and I patted her. I think she might miss you as much as I.
I’m not sure why I’m writing here. Perhaps hoping somehow you get to read this, and you know that I think of you and I miss you a whole bunch.
Love you XOX
November 29, 2008
Hey Dad, I miss and love you more than you will ever know. Right now I need to tell little Miss Me something I believe you would’ve told her yourself. So if you don't mind here goes. Sonia, Dad left the world not us. Not that he wanted to leave but because he had to We know in our hearts this was not a decision of his own. Dad loved each of us differently but equally. We were very special to him in his own special way and you know that as much as I do. We will never stop missing dad or loving him. Dad took care of us better than in my eyes any father could do for his family. That is what made him the perfect father, a special dad and one of a kind. Ever hear that saying any man can be a father but it takes a special man to be a dad. Remember when we pissed dad off and he would be so mad at us but he always got over it (He only and always wanted the best for all of us). I know dad is at piece because knew he could count on his kids to take care of mom like he did and I believe he is watching over all of us with a great big happy Grin. So if writing in the guest book, driving in the car crying your eyes out, calling his phone just to hear him say Richard, or carrying on a conversation with dad hoping to god nobody thinks your crazy! Do it so what - when did any of us ever really care what other people thought of us. I’ve done it myself sometimes it makes me feel better you know what I mean. We have many memories to keep and never forget. Life will never be the same without dad just different.
Love you,
Annette

Today is Thanksgiving and I thought it was gonna be hard. Actually two days ago was hard. Its been about two months now since you passed. I was sitting here thinking about things I could be thankful for today. I have to admit I am thankful for everything. I'm a very lucky girl and though I don't have you here with me anymore, I was lucky enough to have had you at all. I miss you and love you and always will. Thanks Dad for everything.

November 12, 2008
I was sitting here thinking about you today. Kinda like every day. I don't know what to say considering this isn't really you, but it is truely only yours. I miss you more and more every day. I miss hearing you just say yeah on the phone, or just seeing you shaking your head when your little bit annoyed. I miss your advise I miss your laugh and I miss your smile. I miss the safe feeling I got from you. I miss being here in NH and just missing you cuz you were far away. I guess I could go on forever writing what I miss but even more now then ever I look forward to what I get from you. When I look at Annette,Richie, and Robbie I see you. When I hear myself talk I pick up your tone in my own voice. When I remember silly things you said because I just said it myself. "I suppose".
"I'll talk to you later" Never goodbye always I'll talk to you later. Heard someone say that at the store today and thought of you immediately. I'll write again when I just need to say Hi or I miss you.. Luv Ya (another something ya said) XO

MA, SONIA, RICHIE AND ROBBIE,
I’M SITTING HERE TODAY TAKING CARE OF SOMETHINGS TO HELP MOM OUT. HOWEVER, WE NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO THIS NOT THIS SOON ANYWAY. AS THE BIG SISTER I DON'T KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS I WISH I DID. WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THINGS WILL GET EASIER WHEN NOT TO SURE ONLY TIME WILL TELL. SONIA, I ALSO REMEMBER AND WILL NEVER FORGET DAD SITTING IN HIS CHAIR TALKING TO ME AND SOMETIMES TALKING ABOUT NOTHING AT ALL AND OFCOURSE GETTING MOM MAD IT WAS ALL IN FUN. THE WAVES GOOD BYE AS I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK, THE CALLS AT NIGHT LOOKING FOR A SNACK (EVEN IF HE WAS ON HIS DIET) SUGAR WAFFERS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, PLAYING OUR BETS AT THE TRACK, OR ME CALLING DAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WHATEVER AND HE WOULD SIT THERE (I THINK HE WAS LISTENING) BUT HE WAS HERE ANYWAY. BELIEVE ME DAD IS STILL GETTING AN EAR FULL! IF I COULD HAVE ONE REQUEST IT WOULD BE TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO TELL DAD JUST HOW IMPORTANT AND LOVED HE WAS BY ALL OF US ALTHOUGH HE ALREADY KNEW. SO MOM, SONIA, RICHIE AND ROBBIE IF YOU’RE READING THIS- I WANT EACH OF YOU TO KNOW HOW IMPORANT AND LOVED YOU ARE BY ME. I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR ALL OF YOU. FORTUNATELY, OUR MEMORIES WILL LIVE ON SO KEEP THEM CLOSE. BY THE WAY GUYS, EVEN IF I’M OUT IN LEFT FIELD MOST OF THE TIME- I WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF OUR TEAM.

Ma, Annette, Rich, and Rob,
Each day passes and people say sorry. People are there and ask why, what and when. I don't understand why. I don't know what? I do know when... You guys are the only one who will ever understand the extreme emptiness. The hurt and the tears that happen for no other reason then I'm walking down the cookie isle. The feeling that what if I... Luckily as a family we know that Dad loved us as much as we loved him. Dad knew that even though we could be a handful he could always count on us. We know Dad was proud of all of us. Sitting across the table looking over to the big guy. Talking...
Think what I'll miss most is stopping in and sitting at the table, talking. Knowing I can look over and see him there. Nothing moments back then that I maybe took for granted. Moments that I actually looked forward to in my own odd way. So when you guys get sad I'm right there with you. Only usually I try to laugh, because I think of Dad sitting there at Christmas going nuts because there are sooo many people....Or Dad sitting there across the table as him and I team up on Ma just to make her mad.
Dad always encouraged us when we were doing the right thing. Gave us advice that we usually knew later he was right. Now we need to keep Ma sane, encourage her and give her the advice we knew he would have. Maybe I'll never be able to sit across the table and make her mad with my Dad. But I'm sure with help from you all, WE can team up and make some of her sadness go away......

Papa,
It’s lonely here without you
And as the days pass we miss you more and more
Life is not the same for us
Since you were called to you new home so far away
Each time I see you picture you seem to smirk and say
“Don’t cry, I’m only sleeping we’ll be together someday.”
Not a day will go by we wont think of you,
Your laugh, your touch, your smile
Even though you have left this earth
You will continue to live in out hearts and dreams.
You will always be deeply missed.
You will always be forever loved.
There is no need to say goodbye
So goodnight sweet dreams
Until we meet again!
WE LOVE YOU!!
-Caitlyn

Mr. Randall,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Netnet, Sonia, Richie, and Rob, your father would be so proud of you guys. I know how hard this is for you guys to lose your Dad. He was a great man and a true gentleman. (and a little crazy sometimes) Each of you showed your love for both your Mom and Dad the last few days and I am so proud to call you my neice's and nephews. I know you guys know it, but I will say it anyway. I love all of you so very much and you know where I am if you need me anytime.

You don't get over it, you get through it.
You don't get by it, because you can't get around it.
It doesn't get better.
It just gets different. Everyday...
I know for certain we can never really lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. You can't see him, but the strength he has left behind in all of you IS amazing. I think in time, we will all find comfort in knowing we are just "better" people having shared our lives with him.

There will come a day
when your tears of sorrow
will softly flow into tears of remembrance...
and your heart will begin to heal itself...
and grieving will be interrupted by episodes of joy...
and you will hear the whisper of hope.
There will come a day
when you will welcome the tears of remembrance...
as a sunshower of the soul...
a turning of the tide...
a promise of peace.
There will come a day when you will...
risk loving...
go on believing...
and treasure the tears of remembering.

We will shed tears that he is gone; just remember to smile because he has lived. We can close our eyes and pray that he will come back. Never forgetting to open our eyes and see all he has left. Our hearts may feel so empty because we cannot see or touch him. It may seem like right now the only thing we can think is wow he is gone. Always cherish the memories that we have and let them live on. We may need to take extra time to cry, sit alone or just ask why! On the other hand, we can do what dad would want the most: Take care of Mom and be the strong family that he knew.
I wonder if I ever took the time thank you and dad for all the sacrifices you both made for us For the simple little things and times we shared together If I forgot to show my Gratitude enough for all the things both of you did for us, I'm thanking you now! Let us be the shoulder you need to cry on, let us wipe your tears away, hug you close when you need it the most, and be the ear when you need to talk. Mom we can’t count how many times you and dad did this for us. Now it's our turn to be there for you.
