Hey dad. It is / was my birthday today. Fall is near. First birthday without you. I wish we had more time. So much I never got to say. Thanks for teaching me the passion for pheasant hunting.
I miss you.

This is what meant everything to my father. He could only be present so often but he was never more content. His pride in his children and grandchildren was tremendous. You left too soon. I never said goodbye. I still reach for my phone to call.
Rest well.
