Dad -- I have a healthy heart, and would gladly have traded it for you. But with you gone, it feels like it's breaking right now. All I want is for you to know how much you're loved, and how much you're going to continue to be loved for years and years to come. I will do the best I can to take care of my family. Please give some extra grace for the Bills this year, which would help make them a little easier to watch with you not around to root them on with me. :-) And beyond that, all I ask is for signs--every now and then--that you're with me. I believe it, Dad. And I know you're in a much better place, finally free from pain. If Heaven's like they say it is, you'll blink your eyes and I will then be right beside you. Can't wait for that day. I love you with every fiber of my being. Please know how proud I was of you. I mean that.


All my love always,

your son Tony
