You take for granted little things until there taken away. I miss our morning talks, my coffee you always had ready for me, your phone calls every time I left the house. I miss your smile, your laugh even your dumb jokes. I cant believe I will never hear you again. I heard a quote reminded me of when you left. "The moment that you died my heart was torn in two one side filled with heartache the other died with you" Your have and always will be in my heart.

Daddy, my one and only father. I miss you so much words can't even express the hurt and sadness I have from losing you so soon. I wish I had more time with you, more time to love you and more time for amazing memories. Only you knew how much you truely meant to me. Nothing in the world could stop me from loving you dad. I'll hold in my heart the memories of my childhood with you. The childhood I was able to receive because of you and Bobbi. All the fun times of us playing soccer out side and baseball, and you getting a little to competitive haha. Or of you coming home from a long days of work singing "Daddy's home" to alysha and I. lol I'll never forget that time you were in the front yard cleaning ur tree and a huge spider was on ur back and I was so scared to even speak that I just pointed and screamed my head off, u automatically knew what I was referring to because you were purposely looking out for that huge spider we seemed to have got every year on that tree. Lol you jumped all crazy up and down in the air , circles and did some weird looking karate moves until it fell off of you. You immediately stepped on it, you and I just looked at each other and we started to laugh so hard. Or the times when you would make a joke and have all of us laughing and you would be so proud of your joke that you would be like "marissa that was a good one huh" I'm like yes dad while rolling my eyes. Lol 5minutes later you would be like "you liked that one huh, it was funny huh" , I was like yeessssss dad soooo funny good job haha. You loved when you would crack a good joke. Most of all daddy I'll miss your smile. That smile that everyone talked about. Everyone loved you pops. You were a funny little guy with a big heart. Thank you for being my dad. You did the best you could do as a father and I appreciate that and respect that. I will miss you so so much dad. You will be in my heart forever. I love you daddy.
