Five thousand dollar dream. I had another dream of you not too long ago. David and I were going to Texas with an author, some lady. She was going to write a book about us/our journey. You were sitting on stool, I think at the Santa Cruz Diner and said you better ask for $5000 dollars. Like you didn't want her to take advantage. That is something you would say. Looking out for us always. I miss your little comments that were so smart. I love you Dad and I miss you very much.

Dad, Its two years today. I miss you so much. Almost everyday I need you for something. I wish you were here. You were so needed for so many things. I feel stronger but I miss you terribly. David is so huge now. He misses you terribly too.
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift...

My favorite dream so far of you is this: I was in this old house, possibly the one on Blaine St. or Cottonwood. I was in the living room and it was night and you were just outside the window. I saw you and got so excited to see you! I went to the window and put my hand on the glass and you did the same. All of a sudden the glass was not there anymore and we interlocked hands. Then you were right beside me and gave me the biggest hug possible. It was such a warm loving hug. I remember I could...

Hey Dad, It's been a while. I really missed you on 3/2/12 and on 3/10/12, but on 3/22/12 I broke down several times. I just wanted to see your face and see your eyes looking back at me. I felt lots of love that day. Kim was there for me. Eugene was thinking of you too. We ALL really miss you. I wrote on facebook: Every step I take, every move I make, every single day, I'll be missing you. Thinking of the day when you went away (I was holding your wrist feeling your pulse- praying I wouldn't...

Hi, Grandpa. I haven't wrote you in a while. I know that your gone, but at the same time I don't know if I believe it? I can't describe what I feel. I miss spending time with you, talking to you. You were the best grandfather in the world... there is no doubt about that. I really do appreciate everything you did for me, I could never forget that.You were so patient when you did things and so selfless, you put others before yourself. This is what I admired most about you. I miss you grandpa. I...

Hey Dad, We really miss you. I miss you. I watched the movie Armageddon on AMC. That was the last movie we saw together before you stopped talking in ICU. Andre and David were there too. Before that movie was the movie Ghost. Weird movies for the last movies we see together. Especially when her Dad dies. I couldn't handle it last night. Right now your watch is going off, I used to hate it. Maybe it's your way of letting me know you're right here with me. You hated when I cried. I miss...

Without him. Opps

Hey Dad Yesterday was awful. Missed you so much. David said, "It's just not the same with him." I agree.

I put in a entry on 5/26/11 and it didn't take for some reason. RIP Buddy Lopez. Now you and your master happy together. I'm sure you missed each other.
