I wanted to share my thoughts. Everyday I think about him. Everyday I think of what he would said. Everyday I think about our conversations. Everyday I can hear him tell me his advise. He was my rock, my go to person to talk to when I didn't know the answer. He was bright, very intelegent and artistic. I still visit his resting place every month, sometimes more.
I miss you Dad.
