I miss you so much Dad. You were the best father I could have wanted and I'm so grateful for the years we had and the relationship and closeness we shared. It makes it that much harder now that you're gone, but I know we will be reunited one day. I love you forever.

"I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and the days before that too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. All I have are memories and pictures in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in His arms, I have you in my ?."
