18 years ago...... that is way too long... Dad I miss you. I wish you could see how much all of our lives have changed. You have grandkids that are graduating highschool, while some aren´t even walking.... You have children that are going back to school while some are learning things like gardening. Last night my family were all dressed up for different reasons... but It was all to celebrate life. A life I wish you were still here to see.... A life I think you would have really...

Dad, I made it. Your final kid competed high school. I'll be headed to college next. In close to four years all of your kids will be out of school for good. Hopefully each and everyone of us has made you proud.

Dad, I am a freshmen in high school. I don't really know you but I really wish I had. I haven't had a dad figure mostly so i'm trying to do with what I have. It's hard not having a dad. Most of the family is in college and out of the house at the moment. I really hope we can meet one day. Everyone in the family is trying their hardest and missing you so much. I hope we can all reunite and be a happy family.

Today isn't a celebration for me... It's a day of remembrance for my Dad. 11 years ago today we lost him to Cancer... My dad has missed out on so many great memories that he would of loved.. Births of grandchildren, Weddings, School events, Graduations and so much more. I miss hearing him sing the songs off of cartoons and talk in silly voices while walking around the house. I miss being able to call him for wisdom, and then having the wisdom go so far over my head I was once again...

When we were kids, we used to pile in Grandpa Henry's old blue Dodge (5 kids and 4 adults) and head West. We went to Yellowstone, Carlsbad Caverns and many other places. We used to take turns sitting on the floorboards so we could all fit but we were happy as can be. We used to stay at Best Westerns and were so excited that there was a pool. One trip, before I had learned how to swim in deep water, Mark, Hank, Brad and GG were all in the deep water and I had to stay in the shallow water...

Hey Dad,
I am sitting here at school, and just keep thinking about you. I remember all the times we sat at the kitchen table doing math and science homework... It always seemed to go so far over my head....lol Well i find myself, now that i am back in school, wanting to call and see if you can help me with my homework.... i really miss you and Love you. I can't wait to see you in heaven.
Lots of Love,
Your little YOU!

I am really missing you today.I know I will see you soon. but on days like today I cant help but realize all over how much i miss you being here. I love you so much.

Lots of love,
