Daddy I went to visit you yesterday and I still can't believe you are gone. I miss you so much my heart is broke I feel broken. Our family is ripped apart you were the one who should me what family truely meant and taught me that if you have your family hold them close make ever moment special and don't worry about anything else. I have a few voice mails from you that I listen to just to hear your voice. I don't know how I can do this without you.
