Papa, this is our first Thanksgiving without you. It still feels that your in the other room sitting on the edge of the bed before you start your day in the morning
or walking down the hallway
and greeting Mom and you would say (Good Morning Mom and she would say Good Morning Dad) and then greet the rest of the family and say what a beautiful morning it is and then you would sit in your favorite recliner. Your presence is still in every room of the house I see you everywhere.
Your always in our hearts, Prayers and memories forever. We Love you and Miss you so much Papa.
Your Loving Wife and Family.
XOXOXO
