I don’t know what to say or how to feel. I haven’t lost a biological parent. But I’ve lost my other Dad. My Peter, we had an interesting relationship. I wasn’t sure of how this kilted fella was going to ever be accepted. But then there were books, and music, and our love for stupid jokes and terrible spelling and puns. We never sports buddies, because I just didn’t get it. It took some time to click, but we eventually got there. I love you so so much and miss you terribly. I miss our book hunts and our terrible jokes. I don’t know when the pain in my heart will ease, but I know I found a quirky goodness that stole my heart.
