Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around it in the daytime, and falling into at night. I miss you like hell.

Goodbyes are not forever
And nor is it the end
When angels come to call away
A loved one or a friend.
...The empty place that’s left behind
Within this world we know
Reminds us just how brief a stay
We have before we go.
So when it’s time to bid farewell
To one we’ll dearly miss
Let’s just say we’ll meet again
And promise them with this…
The true gift is that love remains
Although we now must part..
Until forever and beyond
I’ll keep you in my heart.

I love you Dad!

It's been almost a month. I find myself waiting for a lunchtime phone call with one of your silly jokes. I still cry at night, but my tears are lessening. It just hurts is all. Love you forever.

I will always think of him as my father, I loved him so very much! He was the one to marry myself and his son, Chris. Now he will never get that chance. I will miss him, but I know he will live on in our memories forever! I love you Wes! <3
