Today is 18 years since you went home to be with the Lord, Dad. I still miss you like crazy, and still I often smile when I think of all the funny stories, and how your sense of humor was contagious. You are still my best friend, the man who was always in my corner...my hero, and the best Dad I could have ever hoped for. Still smile when I think about the look we would give each other in acknowledge of our agreement in things we found funny, or joked about as if we had this secret, but...

It is Fathers' Day...and you Dad are the best Father I could have ever hoped for...I love you, I miss you, you are always in my heart. I look forward to seeing you again. I am blessed to have you as my Father. Much love for always.

I missed Easter...I'm getting older, OR I am way too busy, let's go with that. But you, Dad, are with the Risen Christ all the time...I am too, but in a different setting. It must be beyond what the human mind can understand, but the human mind knows it is soooo much better. Smile. I love you Dad...always my hero, my best friend, the man always in my corner...I love you and miss you and look forward to seeing you again. Belated Happy Resurrection Day.

Happy Birthday Daddy...sure do miss you. You would be 97 today. I Love you forever, and hope to see you soon. My little dog, Bunny, is there with you, and Mommy. The Lord is taking care of her for me until we get there. You are always in my heart, Dad, always. You will always be my hero, my best friend, and the man who has always been in my corner. I think of and miss you always. Much love Dad, always.

Today is 74 years since you and Mommy were married. I am still celebrating your marriage and grateful that you and Mommy are my parents. I love you so very much. Looking forward to seeing you both soon. Always you are in my heart.

I am later than ever...but you are always in my heart. Always I love you. Another year closer...

I'm late writing, but in my heart, you are never forgotten. I love you Dad with all my heart. It's a new year..will see you soon. You and mommy are never forgotten.

Thinking of you, Dad, on this Christmas Morning...love you for always...forever my hero. See you when I get there.

Daddy, it's Christmas Eve. Am thinking about Christmases past that were spent with you and Mom and all the family. Gosh I miss you Dad, and Mommy. Those memories are precious and I cherish them. I love you Dad, you are still my hero, my best friend, the man always in my corner. I love you so much and I miss you Dad. See you soon.
