Today we will pay our respect to my father, a man who already had our respect and love. I will miss him, but his memory will carry on forever--until we meet again. He touched so many, and his touch will remain in all of us--he was funny, but serious when needed. I love him, and know that he and my mom will be together, watching over all of us. We said good bye to his soul the day he passed, we say good bye to his body today. I love you.
