Dad,
It's hard to believe it's been 13 years since you went home to be with the Lord. I love and miss you every day as you are always present in my heart and mind. I wish, I could hug you...

Dad,
Today is the first day of April; nearly a year since you left us. I have thought often of you and have hoped that I might stumble upon verses of profound substance. I have found no such verse to describe the magnitude of my sorrow. I have many questions. I will always grieve the time lost. I am eternally thankful for the time spent. I love you deeply. I miss you deeply.
