Hey dad...






Hello daddy. Today is the day you went "home". Seven years ago, wow how time flies. I remember that day like it was yesterday. So many bad memories of that day, I will never get them out of my head...no matter how hard I try. I try to block the bad with all the good memories. There are so many that make me laugh and smile.
Thank you dad for being the man you were. You taught me so much. You taught me how to be kind and loving to others, even strangers. I love hearing all of the great stories from others. You touched so many hearts, so many have loved you. I was so blessed to have a father like you in my life.

Here are some of the things I miss:

*Vegas & Laughlin trips.
*Watching the Dodger's games with you. (I'm now an Angel's fan...sorry)
*Your cooking! Tortillas and those fries...I can never get them just right.
*Your sarcasm
*Our car trips (even if it was just to the market)
*I miss being daddy's girl
*Your hugs
*Your HUGE smile & laugh
*The way children were drawn to you (wish my kids had the chance to meet you)
*Listening to music with you

I'm sure I can go on on...just want you to know that you are missed so much not just by me, but by so many others. I love you!

What a handsome man your Dad was. So many great memories with him too. He is waiting for you to come home. I am sure he has a smile on his face every time Jesus gives him a glimpse of your life. You look like your Dad too! Hang in there my sweet friend.
