I love you Daddy. I know you´re with the Divine and have Adam at your side.

Dearest Dad ~

Its almost time for the guest book to close, I've been greatful for a place to come and express my feelings and now I have a new place to visit and share with you. You live in our hearts and we speak of you often, sing your songs and share memories of you. We still cry sometimes but now we laugh and smile too when thinking of you. The kids sing Burning Ring of Fire and it makes me happy to know they are thinking of YOU. Maverick tries to jump up to the clouds to...

Thinking of you. Miss you. Love you.

I remember:
You sitting outside my house in your truck in a TERRIBLE stormto make sure I was ok....I felt much better know you were there.

I remember:
You taking us to Kmart to find at least 2 pairs of everything we loved :)

I remember:
going to Red Lobster for dinner and a movie every week, and how us kids fought it, if we only knew :(

I remember:
The tractor, your hats, your boots, how nice you always looked dressed up, certs, your love...

The kids started school and I know your watching out for them. Maverick asked if he could throw his picture way up high in the sky so you could catch it..... he was so proud of what he made in school and his first thought was to give it to his Papa. I worked in the back field burning stumps and kept looking up the trail to see if you were coming, some habits are hard to break. I love you and miss you.

Thinking about you today, especially since it is Grandma Pardons' birthday! You two were so close and were so funny together (Dippy)! Reminds me of Eric and Mom's relationship! Looked at your boots tonight and smiled big! I love you so much Daddy and know you are watching over all of us all of the time. You are missed GREATLY. Love you.

Feeling heavy hearted tonight, so so sad I can't talk with you. I have so many things I need to hear your advice on, I need you here. I'm so sad daddy, I try to cope, deal or whatever this is called but its so hard when I can't avoid the reality you're gone. Help me refocus, to see the "opportunity" in my situation and make good decisions. Miss you forever.
