I guess this will be my last entry. I will continue to love and think about you and mama everyday. It has been a year, and I am no better today than a year ago. I miss you guys so much and I don't think my heart will ever be happy again. There is a hole there that will never mend. It seems to grow bigger and bigger everyday. I am still waiting to see you and Mama and I will continue to wait until you are ready. I love you Daddy, and I will never forget you.

your 11 yr. old grandson

Hey Mr.Gary, it's been a long long time and within that time, I've missed you more than you'll ever know. I can't belive it's been 5 months already since you passed. When I think about it, I mean I'm going to have to go the rest of my life without you, your advice, and most of all your friendship. It's just that lately all I can think about is you and i just hate that i miss you soo much. I feel selfish b/c your family must miss you 10x as much as i do and i can't even imagine how much that...

Happy Birthday Daddy. I so wish you were here with me. I miss you more and more everyday. I have been dreaming about you lately. I woke myself up crying the other night, but it was so good to see you. I am still waiting on my visit. I hope you have not forgotten. What gets me through everyday is knowing that you are with Mama, and neither one of you have anymore pain. I don't think my heart will ever mend, it is broken permanently. I love you so much. You are forever in my heart.

This is what I read at my Daddy's service. First, I would like to thank everyone for coming. You all know what a wonderful man my father was. He was very special to me and my family. When my Mama was sick, Daddy was her caregiver, he took better care of her than any nurse or doctor could have and I truly believe he was the reason Mama survived as long as she did. When I look back over the last year, I now see the signs of my Daddy's illness. He was such an unselfish man. He knew that he was...

Happy Fathers Day Daddy. I think today was the hardest day yet. I miss you so much, and long to hear your voice and feel your touch. I have so many things I want to tell you and I need your guidance Daddy. There is not a day goes by that I don't think of you and Mama. I am so sad, and I don't think that will ever change. I just wish I had had more time, Daddy. I don't know for sure if you knew I was there. I know you knew I love you more than life itself, and I will never stop. Please Lord...

Hello Daddy. I miss you so very much. I am still waiting on you. The days are not getting easier and I knew that wouldn't. I want to see you and Mama more than ever. My heart is broken and it will never mend. You and Mama are forever in my broken heart. I love you dearly.

Today is a very hard day Daddy. I am grateful that you are there with Mama. I just can't believe that I have lost the both of you. I miss you so much. I am still waiting to see you. Come to me soon Daddy, I think it will help, and I will wait as long as I have to. My heart is broken and I don't think it will ever mend. I have an emptiness there that will never be filled. I love you so much and you are forever in my heart.
