Thinking of you always!

Hey Dad. It has been a while...a long while. I can't believe it's been 4 years since you've been gone. We were watching some family videos the other day at the house...God I miss your smile...your laugh, so heart felt. I miss all your silly faces. I have attempted to make your egg sandwiches who knows how many times for Amenti and the boys, but I just can't get them to taste like yours...probably never will either. lol. We were reminising on memories of you. Remember darn Pety...you...

Hey dad, I thought I'd write. I've been a little down on my luck lately. I think I may be a little too stubborn or hard headed, but I'm not giving up. It's not in me to do that. I guess there's just those times in life when things have to get worse before they get better. I see clear skies in the future though and they're moving my way...just have to wait for the clouds to clear. I know you're by my side through it all. Miss you. Love you always, Daddy.

Hey Dad, sorry I ain't wrote in a while. I can't believe it's April already. Can you? This year is going by so fast. Tell the Big Man up there to stop sending us this weather...it's suppose to be spring. I guess this is just Wisconsin for you. See how big the boys are getting. Mycthanial is such a smart boy. It's hard to believe he's starting school this fall. And Nautolie...he's such a jabber box. Well I'm gonna hit the sack Dad. Hugs n Kisses....Love you always

Hey Dad,
It's been a while. Sorry I ain't wrote lately, but I know you hear me talking. Easter weekend...what fun. I can see you helping ma fill all them eggs for the easter egg hunt for the grandkids. This year we may not have mr. weather on our side though. I was thinking about doing it, but it's suppose to snow grandma said. That stinks. Nobody wants to be out freezing our tails off for some easter eggs. Tell the big man to send us some springtime weather for the holidays. ...

Hey Dad, sorry I didn't write yesterday. It was sort of a rough day. People have said "don't worry, it will get easier with time." I find this to be so untrue. I think it only gets harder as time goes by. It's so hard to believe it's been a year. I can still hear your laugh and see your smiling face. As each day passes, it only seems to hurt worse. There is always something that reminds me of you and as time goes on, the list only grows...the pain only deepens and the tears continue to...

Grandpa was always fun to crawl on & cuddle with

Grandkids you gotta love um
