Daddy - we are coming up on two years. I miss you. We went to the Poquoson seafood festival today, I couldn´t get you off my mind. I think about you every day. I am so blessed to have you as my Dad. You would be proud of the Grandkids. Taryn graduates this year, Forrest is in his first year at college and TJ is doing the Marine reserves. Wish I could hug you and talk to you. By the way - WVU beat VT again. I love you Daddy so much, come visit me in my dreams

Daddy - it´s almost been a year, I miss you like it was yesterday. So much has changed, yet stayed the same. I still cry sometimes when I think of you, but I can now smile with your memories also. I hope we are making you proud! I love you to the moon and back - that much will never change. Until we meet again I will hold you in my heart

PS - WVU beat VA Tech in football
