It’s been a year and it still hurts like it was yesterday. I found my dad when he passed and it was so hard to let him go. He was my best friend. I was daddy’s girl. I miss you so much dad. Yesterday I sprayed your cologne in the house. It was nice to have that. It’s still so hard for me to let go. Just miss you so much. I love you Dad.

There was sure some great times and a lot of laughs. Those were the good old days. Hadn't not seen him, since Ed passed away. They all worked on the railroad together, fixing the rails.
