Dad,
I may not have gotten to get to know you like some have. But the time that I did get to spend with you I do cherish. I know you are no longer in pain and you can now do everything you once did. You are now with loved ones that we know are watching over us. I love you dad. ❤

Gonna miss him, remembering the old days when we were young and thought nothing would ever affect us, we were indispensible, we have Kitner blood in us. God needed him more than we did and took all his pain away. we need to remember the good times and actually laugh about the bad, because we always made it through them.
