Grandpa, I cried over my garbage disposal the other day. It just will not keep working no matter what I do to it. I know that there must be a little trick or an explanation for this, but I no longer have my teacher to bring out his pad of paper and explain the whole world to me. I miss being at family parties and looking over at my Pisces twin who could be as happy as me quietly listening to everything going on around us in our crazy and awesome family. I miss everything about you. I love you!

Dad... You have been in my every thought. Everything that happens everyday brings back a memory of you. Some make me smile because I remember your grin and some make me cry with an overwhelming sadness because I wish that I could talk to you about everything I am feeling. I love and miss you so much. I still can't believe when I go to see Mom that you won't be there. I hope I did enough to make your life easier these last years. I'll never stop thinking that I could have done more. Love you always Dad - Kathleen
