I need you so much!!! I hope you have a happy birthday... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DADDY!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Dear Dad,

It has been a while since I wrote... they say this is supposed to get easier. However, I feel it is only getting harder. I love and miss you so much, I just dont know what to say. You were always so strong, I need some of your stength dad!!!! Right now, I am just soooo sad. I miss you daddy... I miss you so much!!

Dear Dad,

Hi its me again. I hope you are doing well. Today me and Larr went to see a movie, it was good... I think you wouldve liked it. We also went and had some Mex food but it wasnt so great! I cant stop thinking of you. I have so many things I want to tell you. I love you so much Dad!! This is so unfair... I cant believe that you are not here. It is like a bad dream that I just want to wake up from! I will write you again soon. Behave yourself and keep smiling : )
I love you...

Dear Dad,

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving... me and Kev tried our best but it was hard. Brooke is doing great... saying more and more every day. She calls you PaPa!! It makes me smile!!
Oh and of course, she loves the word NO : ) Christmas is right around the corner, I will try my best to make it special for your Brookie. I miss you so much dad... losing you is the hardest thing I have ever gone through. I miss you so much!! Well, bye for now dad. I love you!!!
Love Always...

Dear Dad,

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving..... Happy Thanksgiving! I will try and have a good day but it is really hard for me right now.... I miss you so much! Today I found a letter that you wrote to me back in 1997. I loved reading it but it made me so sad. It really made me think! I wish I could go back in time and do some things differently. I wish I didnt always have such a big mouth! I want you here.. I would even make you potato salad and macaroni salad : )
Plus some extra hard...

Dear Dad,

Today I went to Macys to get Brooke a Christmas dress. I got a great deal and I thought about you the entire time I was there. I remember all of our trips to Marshall Fields.... you were my favorite shopping partner. I think about you often and I still cant believe that you are gone. When I walk downtown, sometimes I picture you standing there in your guess jeans and your black coat and when I walk past where you always parked I imagine your car there. I am not as strong as...

Dear Uncle Carl

I will never forget all the times we shared;like when you would put me on your shoulders and tell me not to bump my melon or when you took me in your corvette and I got to sit in the front seat! We all miss you and I still cry every once in awhile. I LOVE YOU Hannah

Dear Dad,

Guess what?? Brooke said grandpa today... she goes to your picture and gives you kisses... it is the sweetest thing. You would be so amazed by her.. she is such a cool little girl. She loves music just like all of us and she dances just like you!! She had a good time today playing with Uncle Kevin. We miss you so much dad and we are so lost! Tell Mommy we love her! Bye for now!!
Love Always,
Tracy
