Hi Dad: I can't believe it has been a year! There is not a day or hour that goes by without thinking about all the fun times we had together. From train shopping to sleigh rides in Garret Mountain. You held my hand as we walked through the woods when I was just a child and let me carve Xs in the trees so we didn't lost. You loved the way I was so full of sprit at Christmas, and got such a charge of me when we walked into Chanel Lumber and asked if you noticed something different, as Christmas was set up all over the store. Well I notice something really different now, as you are not with us, and the hole in my heart is sometimes too tough to bare. There will always be a special light on my tree for you Dad. I love you and miss you so much.
