Dear Dad,
Tonight there was a full moon as I was driving home from Wendy's. I thought of you, as tomorrow will be two years since you have been gone. Maybe you were just shedding a little light on the kind of day I will probably have tomorrow. It's been especially hard for me, knowing this day was coming yet again. I feel as though I have a cloud hanging over my head. I'm really sad inside and it makes my heart hurt. It's been lonely without you Dad. Your guest book is about to expire...

Dad,
Happy New Year. It was 2 years ago when this all started. I wish you would have let me take you to the hospital. Maybe you would still be here with us. I have always felt guilty for not hounding you more about going. I still fell so empty without you. This time of the year is especially hard for all of us. From my heart, thinking of you
Love Jean

Dad,
It's almost midnight which will be Christmas day. Just sitting here thinking of you. Christmas this year is really hard for me. I just don't seem to have the Christmas spirit. Missed you tonight at dinner. I made my fruit salad and thought of you. I don't think anyone realized, but your chair was never filled at the table when we sat down to eat. It's weird, I just looked over and you were not there. We miss you so much Dad. Wendy & Dave did a wonderful job of hosting dinner as...

Dad,
It's just before midnight on Christmas eve and my heart is heavy. It was two years ago today that we spent our last Christmas holiday as a family with you. I'm so thankful for those last photos of us together. There is certainly something missing now and every day.
While almost two years have passed, my love for you is just as strong as ever. I'm grateful for all you've taught me and the love you gave me. It made me the person I am today dad. Thank you so much for this....

Hey Dad,
Thanksgiving is in a few days. I know your gone and it still isn't right. I'm just really sad and I feel empty without you. So much has changed since you left us. You had this certain strength about you that you passed on to all of us. I feel like it's completely gone. (for me anyway) Hope you know I'm thinking about and I miss you terribly. I love you Dad.

Love Jean

Dad,
We're coming upon Thanksgiving and I couldn't let it pass without letting you know how much you are missed.
I find myself thinking of you so much and my heart feels heavy. Not being able to hear your voice is the worst. Losing someone you love so much is just beyond the worst pain you can imagine. I knew you weren't going to be here forever, but why couldn't it have been longer? Why didn't I better prepare myself for what life would be like without you? I'm sure I'll know...

Hi Dad,
Got off work today and my car wouldn't start! The first thing I thought of was you. I know you would have been there in a minute if you could. It's not just that your gone that breaks my heart every day, but just the little things you always did for all of us. You would have fixed me up in a minute and had me on my way. Then you would have laughed that I'm gonna be 50 years old in a month and I still want my Daddy. But I know you would love it that your little girls still need...

Hey R.D.
It's about 12:30 A.m.. I have been searching for your guest book. It took me forever to find it. Yesterday was your 73rd Birthday. Miss you terribly. Some days are so lonely. I feel is if my heart is breaking. You can't be With your soul mate without grieving. No one will truly know til they have to go through this grieving process. The girl's miss you horribly, Also the grandkid's and extended family, Plus all the many friend's you have. Wendy had her golf tournament the...

Happy Birthday Dad. My heart is heavy without you. Always know I'm thinking of you. Hope you are having a special day, and don't forget to celebrate tomorrow with Uncle Warren. I love you.

Jean
