George J. Leach, Sr.

It hits like a ton of bricks on some days. Some days I smile knowing I had the best of you. Some days I wake up with tears already flooding my eyes. I wake up to what I wish wasn’t true. I go to sleep thinking I’ll wake up to see you. Some days I stare at your picture and all the memories of that fateful day hits me harder than I can bear on my shoulders. I keep looking for sign that it’s time to move on but my heart is shattered beyond belief when I have to remind myself there’s only one way...

I let a big sigh of relief out today. I’m counting down the days until you are truly laid to rest. I broke down and realize it is actually true. You are no longer here and yet I look for you. Every day I push through, it will bring me closer to finally seeing you. Just for one split second, I constantly wish to go back to the last time I saw you. Held your hand, walked with you, sat you down, told you I loved you. I wish in that moment, that I would of turned around just to see your face but...

Dad.
It don’t feel like four months today since you went to heaven ... I wish I could have one more day with you to tell you how much I love and miss you .

Pop - I miss you on days like this. Days that I look at my daughter, your granddaughter, who you weren’t able to meet. I ask if you’re looking over her and she smiles to my question. Just know not a day goes by without wishing I could rewind time just for a split second.

Love always ❤

Pop, my last words to you:
“I love you. We been down this road before. I’ll see you when I see you.”

Little did I know..I miss you more than you can imagine. I miss the morning eggs, the “friendly” (yet stern) reminders of your daily routines, watching you nap with the puppers and seeing you walk into the door from your adventures. It has taken me a week to come to terms and accept what has happened and yet what I said rings true, “I’ll see you when I see you”. ❤

John was truly devoted to his family. He was so kind to his children and grandchildren. I especially remember how he drove out of his way to pick up his grandson Shawn from school and each time he picked him up he made it special for Shawn. May he rest in peace.

Love you Pop. Gone too soon, but at least your with your soul mate again. Both of you are watching over us. Until we meet again rest in peace.
