Dad you are our guardian angel and I know you will watch over mom and the rest of us. There's already an empty spot in my heart but knowing you are finally at peace helps and not suffering anymore. I know one day you will be waiting with open arms for me, but for now I promise you that there won't be a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I love you so much dad and I'm blowing kisses to you! ❤
