“I think this is what Dad would want to
say to us...” To My Family Celebrating My 8th year in heaven:
My loved ones down on earth, I am wanting to say a few words, so please listen to me.
Do not live your lives in such sorrow. That is not what I wanted to see.
Your life is a gift and for you there is a tomorrow. You have grieved for me all this time and it is time now to just think of me and smile.
Remember I am beside you and when you are feeling sad, I am too.
It hurts me to see you are feeling sad and blue.
I do understand that you miss me and ache that I am gone.
Remember I am still with you. I smile when I see you smiling, I feel your love when you open your heart and when you visit me at our special place. I see you there and I want you to smile.
Please help me and let me go. I need this to progress in my heavenly home. Let me grow as an angel. Please listen to me and set me free. Let my wings open wide and fly~
I love you all always and forever.
Your guardian angel in the sky and your Dad. A.M.L.F.& T.S "Big D"

happy 84th Birthday Big D. Another whole year with out you to share in our sorrows and joys. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and sometimes it seems so long ago that we celebrated your 77th birthday. Jeff and I still celebrate your birthday and share a slice of our favorite cake every year on this date.. You would love it too and you probable have had the Banana Dream cake at Too Jay's. I go get it with a pint of milk and we share it back at the shop because I still can't control my emotions when it comes to the loss of you. I hope heaven is al it said to be and you are pain free and looking down on us, and on a lighter note if they have a heavenly library hope you picked up my book and gat ready for the next one. It's a coming!! Love you and miss you daddy.

As usually a day late and a dollar short. I just had talked to mom last night and said I needed to write in your book and by the time I got home from grocery shopping things just keep getting in the way. I guess it's true, life still goes on, but it doesn't mean our hearts don't hurt everytime we stop and have time to reflect. Thank God most of them were the happiest times.Maybe that's why it still hurt so much. We miss you very much Daddy.

November 11, 2012
