I miss you dearly, Pa. it’s been over 3 years, and I still think about you daily. You were always there for anything I needed. I’m glad you were here to see me achieve my dream of becoming a professional wrestler. I got to work for WWE last year, you would have been really proud. I wore your Teamsters retirement watch every day I was there. I framed my first check from WWE and gave it to mom for Christmas. I’m currently sitting in front of the house in Park City I got to grow up with you while I write this. I’m getting better, I think. Last year I was a trainwreck, now I’m just a mess. I never said goodbye, because byes are never good and we should never have to say them. So, I’ll stick to the last words I said. I love you, I’ll see you soon.
P.s if they have diners in heaven, save me a spot. I have a lot of stories to tell you.
