You were my pillar of strength when I needed it. You were strong willed, determined and very stubborn. You were one of a kind, I will miss everything about you, including the things that sometimes irrated me the most, your sarcasam, the fact that you were very seldom wrong about anything, or at least you thought that. I will miss you. I love you daddy, forever
