June 15

Hey papa. Not much to say today.. That 3 year mark is approaching. There are days I still try and figure out why you had to go. Guess God musta had a reason. I love you daddy. Miss you more then you know. You were the best dad EVER!! I remember your beautiful blue eyes, your large, rough hands from all the hard work you did, how funny you were, how much fun we'd have together, our breakfast dates -- some of my favorite times with you were these cuz it was usually just you and me. They say that a girls first love is her father and you certainly were mine. You took such good care of us and even though you were gone a lot for work, we still knew who you were, how you were. You were such a big, grumpy grizzly bear growing up but you had a soft side. When Rob came along you became a whole different guy. I loved watching you two together. I know you always thought I wasn't stern enough with him but we all raise our children differently. Rob has stayed that sweet kid you knew when you left. I'm so thankful that you got to be here for his 16th birthday and that Christmas, who knew it would be the last one we'd share. I guess God did. There's been more birthdays and holidays since you left and none have been the same. Father's day is probably my least favorite because, well, you're not here. No more Minmarks I get to make for you. No more sappy cards that make you tear up. No more searching for that perfect gift just to make you smile. Tomorrow is Father's day and I hope being up there with our Heavenly Father it's a wonderful day. Take some time and go fishing and enjoy it.  I love you papa... so much. (FOREHEAD KISS) Talk to you in a little bit.





We miss you so much dad. Wish you were here.
