Dad
It´s been 8 years since you left us and it has gotten any easier . I think of you everyday and miss you so much. I miss our closeness , and our talks and laughs you always told the best jokes. And I miss your wisdom and guidance . I never had to worry about anything having you as my Dad . Your advice always solved any problem I had. I admired how you never let stress into your life , your saying was Stress kills , it´s one of the worst things for your body. I am trying to live my life now in your footsteps. I made you a big promise the last week you were here with us and I am keeping that promise . I love and miss you so very much Dad . I was so blessed having you for my father. You´re the Best always and forever. Mom is with you now . I was so sad and still am to see her pass I miss her so much too. But I´m so happy you are together again.
All my love always Dad
Forever in my heart , your little girl ,
Charlene

Daddy, Yesterday, March 2, was one of the hardest days of my life, as it was 1 year ago you left us . I cried so much I don't think I had any tears left by the end of the day. I know your in a great place, but call me selfish, because I still want you here with me. I miss our talks and laughs, your love and caring ways and all the good sound advice you always gave me . I know you are watching over me and I want to live the rest of my life the way you lived yours . Please keep guiding me dad as I need you now more then ever . I love you always and I know I could never of had a better dad then you . Until we meet again . Love your little girl, Charlene

As I write this I am balling my eyes out. I love and miss you so much Poppy. You meant everything to me. If there was 1 person that I could chose to be in life it would be you. Always made sure your family was ok, the most loving and caring person, went above and beyond for everyone, and most of all gave the best advice. You helped me through a lot and was always there. I think about you each and every day but I know your watching me and guiding me through life. All I can say is, Thank You and I LOVE YA MAN!!!
