Hi dad, thinking about you as usual. I still am confused on things that happen to you.. I guess I should just leave it alone until I see you again. I'm going to have a really long talk to you when I see you!!! It was a beautiful day out today, it was definitely your kind of weather... You would probably be outside still. I want you to know dad we made decisions for you the best we thought how you would want to be.. I pray that you are okay with it.. They tell me your happy and I pray this is true because I need to believe you are dad.. Dad that was the worst thing I ever had to do was make decisions for you and mommy.. I know everyone else feels the same way.. I miss you so very much and love you always xo Give mommy a kiss for me.

Hi dad, I just was thinking about all the old times we had on Reese St. I remember our house we're everyone would come to become mommy didn't want to make us go out. Especially at Christmas mommy would let us stay home to play with our toys. Mommy always made sure we had a great holiday no matter what. It's a shame how we take things for granted. I know all of us would do anything to hug you or even just to here your voice. I know we will be together again it's that I just miss you guys so much.. I understand your at peace now and with family it just hurts your not here with us.. I pray you are at rest I'll see you again..
