Though we're not together

And we miss the times we had,

You are still my special kids,

And I am still your dad...

And I love you, just as always,

Maybe even more.

Call me anytime you need me,

That's what dads are for!

He was a very good, helpful friend. He always made me laugh and he helped me wth my dog, Max, when he got hit by a car. Frog and Cookie took us (Max and me)to Purdue Vet school for his surgery, and took me to visit Max for the whole month Max was there. And when I spent 6 weeks in the hospital, Frog took care of him. Max loved Frog and vice versa. We had a lot of good times. I will miss him.
