I love and miss you so much dad. As your one year anniversary approaches I'm spending a lot of time thinking of the times we shared. A lifetime of love, laughs, discipline and most importantly showing me what it means to have a relationship with Christ. I have learned so much from you that i will continue to take into my adulthood. I love you always dad. Thank you for everything.
