Not sure what to say?

Dearest,
Well, I'm home again. I got laid off on January 3rd, but I'm okay with it. I'm following your advice and not turning down any interviews. Haven't been on many but with this economy, anything is good.
I saw you last night as Rico and I were walking down the driveway. You shined through the trees and I could feel you smiling down at me. I've simplified my life a lot lately and I think you would be proud. I'm helping Duke more with barn and house stuff which in turn I think...

Dearest Pop,
It's been a long time since I've put anything down although we talk often still. There have been a lot of adventures since the cancer. Multiple broken bones, a couple surgeries, losses that can't be explained. Life has changed so much over the last few years and I am so full of questions. Through everything Duke is always by my side watching over me.
Duke and I took Mom to Golden Corral for dinner today. It was a nice quiet day, no one person had to cook or clean....

Dearest Pop,
Next Friday is my last radiation day, March 19th. It's been a tough road, but you raised me to face challenges head on and it's paid off. Duke has been my blessing thoughout this whole journey, and you knew it from the first minute you met him! You were always a good judge of character(s) LOL

Happy Birthday.. Pop!!!
Thanks for keeping a watchful eye on Diane during her little challenge. We both know she'll kick this C square in the butt!!

Love ya.. Miss ya..

Dearst Pop,
It's been 5 years since you left us and it feels like only yesterday. As you know Diane has been going thru some ruff times lately fighting this damn cancer but she's tuff and with both of our strengths and you watching over her she'll be back even stronger! I miss our times together! Please welcome my good friend John Bohnel who recently joined the team!

Love ya.. Miss ya.

5 years is coming tomorrow, feels like only yesterday. Time has eased the pain but not healed the emptiness I feel without you here. There are moments when I wih so deeply to be able to pick up the phone can call you and then I realize that can't happen. So many things go through my mind missing the time we had when you were with me. Life can be so short.

I know you're shining down and always watching over me. Sending me strength when I feel weak, reminding me that life is an adventure. Send some of that Duke's way, he could use it right now. Always in my heart, I think of you everyday.

Always thinking of you. You shine so bright in the sky for me to see.

Happy Birthday.. Pop!!!

Love ya.. Miss ya..
