Papa, sometimes I think it was all a bad dream, and you are not gone, and then I realize it is reality and it is a harsh reality for me. You were so special to me, as I know I (and my husband and children) were to you. I miss you every day and will miss you eternally. I hope you are resting in peace! You worked so hard your whole life, and I want you to know, it did not go unnoticed. I have the utmost of respect for you, and nobody can ever take your place in my heart. It takes a GREAT man to Father a child that is not their biological child, and you were the best Dad anyone could ever ask for. You taught me so much!!! You were an amazing man, smart and funny and loving, and I miss you every second of every minute of every day <3 I love you, and miss you Papa!!!!
