Dad, I miss and love you so very much. You were always there for me no matter what. When I was a young girl, we shared so many special times together. Our outings to get Christmas trees and bring it home to mom, the time you talked me through fixing my drier over the phone, and the many days talking on the CD radio while you were on your way home from work. That sound will live in my head forever, Gun Runner calling Daddy's Little Girl. You have given me so many things to be grateful for but the most was the way you and momma helped me raise Tara. She looked to you for love and guidance. You will be greatly missed in our lives.
