Words cannot explain how much I care for you. Even know it's been almost 10 years, I still have flashbacks of the good and the bad. I talk about you whenever I'm around your daughter Emma. I told her about us going golfing and you never looked for your ball and just used a new ball..lol..she thought it was silly. Doubt she knows what that meant but, I'm trying to show her the different stories that others don't know. Brother I miss you hard. Emma asks what my tattoos mean and I tell her a story. Next I see her Im gonna tell her about your first tattoo DWB..lol..she's just like you, determined to make things happen, never quits. Smart and tall just like her daddy..and she's got such a big heart, just like you Coupe..I'll talk to you soon..be easy up there..Love you
