I miss you dad and need you more than ever. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. Being with you one day brings me peace. Oh how I cannot wait to sit and talk with you.

Hi Daddy -
It's been a while since I last wrote to you. I know it seems silly... but I always feel better after doing it.
Alot has happened in the last year. Adam and I built our first home. I finally got Adam to get me a Hummer for my Birthday last year. I started a new business... named Missy Moo Ink. I love it... because everytime someone says Missy Moo... I think of you. Jami and Laura have gotten married. But, I guess you know that... because I know you...

Dad, I miss you today..but that is no different from yesterday..in fact I miss you everyday. I miss so much about you. Your nose, and how big it is, your crooked smile, your ears. I remember how you use to shave, and you would fill your ears with shaving cream and always forget to wash it off. I miss your chili, and the way you liked your daily onion quartered and not diced. Your laugh, and the way you walked. I miss seeing you wearing a belt & suspenders at the same time. The way you said...

Hey Poppy!
I am missing you! I wish I could just pick up the phone... and hear your voice. My heart is broken Dad. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever heal. I'd do anything to see your beautiful smile again. I have so many things I want to talk to you about. I love you so very, very much! I know you love me too! I just wish I could see you one last time...talk to you one last time. I know you watch over me... I can feel your presence at times and it is so comforting. Until we...

Happy Father's Day, Dad!
I can't believe that today it has been three years since we said goodbye. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you... or something reminds me of you. It is comforting knowing that you are watching over me and everybody else... but I would rather have you here with us. There is so much I would love to talk to you about. So much has happened since you left. Brandon has graduated from high school... Derek moved out here to live with us... Shelly & Seth got...

Dad, it is so hard to believe that you have been gone for 3 years. Three very long years. I have thought of you on each and every day. I still find it so hard to live my life without you. I often think about your ability to make me laugh. To really laugh and smile. I was so proud that you were my dad. I only hope that my son can say the same for me, and that he grows up knowing he was loved, like I knew that you loved me.
The thing that is so hard for me to deal with is the fact that...
