Not sure what to say?

I can't believe 13 years and I still miss you as much as I did the first year. Still hear your voice when we sing certain songs. Still love you as always.

Well Dad today has been a year since you went to be with the Lord. We sure do miss you and will always have great memories of our days together. I will always love you.

Dad, sure wish you were here to celebrate your 86th birthday. But you are in a much better place. Wondering, can you see and hear us from Heaven? I know you are spending all your time with our Lord, but just wonder what it's really like.
I love you so very much and miss you. Cannot even begin to think how it is for mom. Next Sunday will be a year since you've been gone. But your songs still linger.

loved his sweets

Dad your 86th birthday would have been this Sunday.

Dad
When I was little, I thought you were the best father anyone could ever wish for…I thought you taught me more than anyone else could. I thought you understood me when no one else would. I thought you loved me better than any other father ever loved his children. I didn't know what I'd ever do without you, because I loved you so much… Now that I'm not so little anymore, I just wanted you to know that some things never...

Dad, I couldn't stop thinking about you last nite. Going on 9 months since the Lord took you home. We all really miss you. Love you so much.

It has been 6 months and I still miss Dad as much as ever. I look at his pictures and listen to his voice on the recorder and think he should be here. I know he is with the Lord but I still want and need him here with us.

Dad is always on my mind. It don't stop. I hear his voice....I see him standing at the work bench....see him sitting in his chair.....see him putting his jacket on to take the dog to the mailbox.....and I will never forget the time I spent with him. I have been blessed with great parents. I'll see him again.
