Hi Dad,
It's been a year now, and I still think of you every day. I remember sitting by your side looking at pictures like it was yesterday. I wish I would have told you that I didn't want you to go, instead of trying to say the right thing and telling you it was o.k. to go. I know your in a better place, and that you have probably given Steinbrenner hell about those damn Yankees. I could use some of your words of wisdom right about now Dad, but I think I know what you would say. I love you, Dad.

You've been gone a month now, Dad. I miss you every day. I hope that you can breathe easily now, and that you finally had your "one good day." I love you, Dad.
