Dad I knew this day would come. You fought a hard battle with Cancer. I can not describe the amount of heartbreak I am feeling at this moment but it's a feeling I have not felt since losing mom. We gained another angel mom waited for you with open arms. That gives me a tad bit of comfort. Save a place for me my dear father I shall one day be back with you both again. Love and miss you so so much.
