Dad, It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since you left us. You had so much more life to live. However, life had other plans. We are so grateful for you and I thank God you are my dad. I so wish you were still with us. Just imagine what you, Mom, Shannon, Laura, and I could have done as a family. I dream about that. You were sick enough without having to worry about COVID coming upon us though. I just hope I have made you proud in the time that has passed. Of course, I have made a few mistakes along the way.

You are in my heart and head every day. Thank you for being the person who taught me to be loving and caring. I hope you and the saints of our family are enjoying heaven. I will have a Diet Dr. Pepper in your memory today.

Dad, I love you now and forever. I miss you.
