Hey papa.. I've been thinking about you a lot. Have my moments and my days. Last night thoughts of you flooded my mind as I was trying to go to sleep last night and I started to cry and had to get up to wipe my tears and blow my nose. I don't know why you're on my mind so much. I guess, just because. I sometimes think there is a glimpse of you in some of my customers. Like today this older gentleman came in and he reminded me so much of you. Dressed in a plaid long sleeve shirt and jeans. Long white beard, cheerful face. I took his order and he complained that the price was high.. as I think you probably would have too. Then when I did my table touching (checking on my customers) I asked him how he was and he said, Doing fine, darlin'.. Then as he was leaving, I told him to have a good day and come back to see us and he said, Thanks kid!  Have to say, I had to blink back the tears. It's like you were there, thanks for coming to see me today dad.
Did you see the nice desk Richard made? He did such a nice job, you'd be so proud. Glad he's found something he enjoys doing and I'm sure you are right there with him when he is working in his garage. I think all of us have you with us in certain ways. In our own ways. I wish we had you here but since I know I can't.. it's a blessing to have you the way we can. In our hearts, our thoughts, our memories, and in the glimpses of people who cross our paths each day.
Mom had her deposition last week. She said it went better than she thought it would. She was really nervous. They asked her stupid questions and she told them all she knew. I know she wants as much as all of us do for the case to be over and things to be settled and there to be some closure. Let her feel you dad.. talk to Snick and tell him to be special sweet, give her a sign you're still here.  I love you daddy.. miss you so much. I need a dad hug so badly! (forehead kiss) Talk to you in a little bit. <3
