I will always miss you Daddy

Dad,
Ho Ho Ho! Like you always liked to say and I am sure you're saying it still! Merry Christmas Dad - I will miss you here with us this year and every year to come. Thank you for making Christmas so special for us - thank you for being the Santa Claus whenever you got the chance - thank you for marching through the house with snow on your boots shouting Ho Ho Ho Merrrrrry Christmas - especially for Douglas' last year that he believed. You always had a way of making us kids feel loved...

To my dad - it is hard even now 7 months after you closed your eyes and said goodnight to us for the last time....Debbie was holding your left hand when you died and I was holding your right hand. We felt your spirit come out of your body and there was a peace in the room daddy that told us you were finally free...no more pain, no more sorrow over mother's death, no more saddness or sickness. I wanted to grab that spirit of yours and ask you not to leave just yet, but I knew that wasn't...

To My Daddy,

It's taken me a while to bring myself to write this because I know that for now this is all we have. Saying goodbye to the people you've loved the longest in your life is not an easy thing to do. I know that everything I am writing I've told you many times.

Thanks for being a TREMENDOUS FATHER. You worked hard all your life, especially, when we were little. It wasn't easy raising all of us but we know that you and Mom did the best you could with what you had. ...

Dear John, Here I am again with a special prayer for you and your bride,Joyce,on this special day of your 57th wedding anniversary. I am certain that the Lord has granted both of you special blessings today. I miss you ,John. Please put in a prayer for me. Love to both of you,Joan
