papa,
I don't know what I wish I could tell you right now... one week ago today I watched you take your last breath, I and wish I didn't have to see that.. but I'm starting to fade that out and remember the 32 years of happiness you brought me! I remember everything papa! when I was little like Jacobs age I had no friends.... But you were mine, and I was yours! papa I can remember almost all memories! I can smell the campfires, I can remember most stories, even how the van smelled after camping all weekend! thanks for showing me how to be a painter in which i have my own company... I remember the .25 cents I used to get for every switch plate I had to remove, the masking I had to do EVEN the whole summer I had to work when I was 9 to earn a sega genesis! But you taught me how to earn things! I remember all the times you worked on the cutlass in the garage and I would help you, annoy you, or hand you a tool! only to get that car when I was 16! i remember all our trips to the nugget, or to Tahoe while leaving our campsite just cause ( well shit since were just over the hill wanna play some video games??) UHHHH YESSSS!!!!! i remember everything papa!!! only cause i truly, truly wouldn't have spent that time with anyone else!! ill never forget your laugh, smile, attitude, and your amazing blue eyes! ill never forget you and your spirit will forever be instilled in me! i promise ill show my kids everything, and take them everywhere we went cause I DO REMEMBER!
