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!

So very sorry to read of your loss.
We grew up across the street on Borley.
I lost my twin Merlin 3 1/2 years ago.
We took turns riding to high school together.
Good childhood memories.
My sympathy to the family.

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.
