For sometime I had always tried to prepare myself for this day but there's no way you can prepare for yourself for such a thing. I don't know how I can live without you in my life. I once read that your parents teach you everything except how to live without them and I now have to learn to live without you. I know it's going to be hard but you will always be with me in spirit to guide me. You will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. I love you Dad! Until I See you again... RIP Terry and Jerry
