All of us..

Hey papa.. how are you today? Today we went and set your headstone like I was telling you. Your kids were all together and we got along OK. It's Mother's Day tomorrow and the least we could do for mom was get along, especially today. Yes, I saw you today. I saw you scoot around to the other side of the tree to avoid getting watered from Snick.. hehe. I think he was still confused. The poor guy. I'd hate to not be able to talk, to ask questions because I know if he could he would be asking where you were and when you were coming home. Why we keep taking him out to that place where we say you are and he can't see you. Why we keep crying. I think about when I have to leave in a couple weeks. I'm so ready to go home but I know that he will again be confused and sad. I'll be sad too. I've enjoyed being here with him and with mom. Being with Snick is kinda like being with you. You are just comfortable and know that there is love in the room being with him. Someone who will listen and always be there to have that someone to hang out with. He's been not very happy with me as of late cuz I've been busy running errands or having to work and he can't always go. He's been pouting and telling me, daddy would take me.. he always took me everywhere. he didn't tell me no. Well, I'm sorry papa... but sometimes I have to tell your best buddy no. 

It looks nice, don't ya think? 

We had a nice dinner today. Mom made brisket and corn casserole and dump cake. It was really good. She cooks on the weekends and she does an awesome job. Richard tried to fix the door latch thing on your bedroom door but couldn't find the tools he needed to finish it but the door shuts again so that's all that matters. Brian is well, Brian. He starts his new job on Monday. He's gonna work for Seward. Yes sir.. I know. He will probably be looking for another job before too long. He can't seem to keep his nose clean and out of trouble. He's 43 daddy. He should know by now how to play the game. Just do what the man tells ya and you keep the job. Crazy concept, huh? I don't know much today papa. Just wanted to talk to you about setting your headstone. I cried when we were done. I don't know papa. Just puts another piece of the puzzle together and I just wanna put the pieces back in the box and return it and get you back. I wanted you around forever. Till you were in your 90's at least. I wanted you to out live your parents. I think grandma was 66 or 67 when she left, and your real dad.. I don't know how old he was. And Delmar was like 66 too. If that's the case.. then maybe that's when we will get to join you in Heaven. When we are in our late 60's.  Who knows except the Big Guy. You know the rock thing I did for you.. It didn't weather, well, the weather.. see. But you can

still make out what it says. I do still love and miss you. Can you see that from Heaven dad? When are you getting the phone put in so I can call and ask you all the questions I have for you?? You really need to talk to God and see if this could be arranged. I know mama would really love to talk to you too. Tomorrow we are gonna take Brian back home. Spend Mother's day driving.. that's OK. At least we'll be together, if I can't be with Boo at least mom can be with 2 of her kids. Don't know much else today papa. I love you! Talk to you in a little bit. <3

WE LOVE YOU DAD!!
