I'll be loving you always. Just stopping by because you're always on my mind. A tight hug and a scratchy kiss from you would really be right on time these days.

Daddy where do I begin? It’s so much that can be said and will forever be thought. I’ll miss you everyday, every moment, and every milestone. The hardest thing is knowing everything else is questionable but you were a constant. The love you freely gave is incomparable. I’m so glad I got to tell you how much I loved you and how much of a great dad you were. Your response was ‘I tried to be.’ That’s exactly what you were! My favorite guy!!! We laughed all the time. I would always say how funny...
