Twelve years gone and I miss you like it was yesterday. There will never be another to impress upon me what it's like to really live, what it means to keep your word and what it looks like to help others, even anonymously in there time of need. Nobody could laugh and show others what true joy for life actually looks like and I feel so fortunate to have had you for a father. You made life what it should be. There will never be anyone like you. I miss and love you so much. Amy
