Dad,
Its coming up on 12 long years that you left this world. I was only 9 years old when you took your last breath. Not a day goes by that i dont think about you. I would give anything just to have a relationship with you. Im now 21 years old and i feel you not being here has effected me more now than ever. You are truly missed big red. Although, i carry your name, things will never be as if you were here. I remember you as a kind, hard-working, funny dad and will never forget you.
