Another year, another Father´s Day, without you. Oh, how I miss you so. I carry you in my heart, where I have daily conversations with you. I know you´re with me. I love you, dad.

Dad,
Here we are in June already, approaching one year since we said goodbye. Not a day goes by that I don´t think of you. Life is so much harder without you, but I do my best to push forward to make you proud. My heart is shattered but I always remember to feel grateful, like you taught me. I know I will see you again and we will continue right where we left off. There´s so much more for us to talk about. Until then, rest easy & know you are loved, cherished & missed.
Your loving daughter,
Stacey

Stacey that email you received was so touching. I know it was Bob's way of contacting you & all your family. Letting you know he's exactly where he's always wanted to be. He was a great friend & loved all of you more than words could say. He will be missed so much by us and all who knew him. One of those #friendsthatbecomefamily the moment we met over 20 years ago. Prayers are with you all. Love, Lee & Debbie

Dad,
As I sit here here it preparing for the final goodbye, I thought about an email I received regarding the balloon tribute we did for you. It has brought us so much peace. We will continue to celebrate you. Tomorrow will all about you. There will be tears of joy, as we celebrate what a wonderful man you were. And tears of sadness, for how much we´ve lost. I love & miss you so much it hurts.
Your adoring daughter,
Stacey

Dad I miss you so much it physically hurts. I love you to the moon and beyond. Thank you for being the most loving father to the three of us and the host of others you played a major role in their growth. You truly are my super hero and while I lost a part of myself when losing you I know you´re still with me. Don´t think I don´t catch you humor and cherish the ways you let me know you´re there. You overly fulfilled your obligations on this side and now reunited with loved ones, endless reading and story telling we can´t wait to hear because I´m sure they´ve gotten even better Please continue showing me signs and I´ll continue making you proud. Love, Ash
