My Dad



















I've been wanting to write about my dad for the past few weeks, but haven't had the strength to actually do it...I don't want to accept that he is gone, cause I'm not ready for my dad to be in heaven. Last month, my dad lost the battle to cancer and passed away in his sleep. I'm so thankful that he is no longer hurting or in pain, but I miss him terribly. I'm only 29 years old and feel like I'm too young to loose a dad and had so much more to learn from him.


Dad,

Thank you for everything you taught me. I was and will always be your little girl. Dads and girls have a special bond and you showed me how to love and find a man who would love me and my daughter. I'm so very thankful that our love will continue through memories as I watch Avery and Dana play and grow together. Loosing you has been the toughest thing I've ever had to deal with, but I'm trying to focus on all the good times we had together. The day you "taught" me how to buy a car and said that I couldn't have one until we wheeled and dealed multiple car lots, however I left the first place with a car, cause your little girl couldn't drive down the hill in an unsafe car. Or the day you walked me down the aisle and told me how lucky you were to be getting a wonderful son in law. The day I had Avery and you were there and how her second word was papa. She has been calling you on the phone everyday since you left us and now she kisses your pictures non stop...she won't kiss anyone elses picture, only you...I think she misses you too!! I'm going to miss our lunch dates and phone calls and the way you introduced me to others as your baby, even as I grew up. I love you dad and I hope you and Sandra are having fun together. I miss you so much...

Love, Your little girl
