Hi Pa! “Everything is just lovely” and “I can’t complain.” We sure do miss you but know that you are with our Heavenly Father and looking down on us as the seasons pass. I was looking at some pictures of us and remembered how much faith you had in me. Ha...even when you knew Inwasnt mechanically inclined you once had me change an ignition switch on a VW. You always knew how to build my confidence and I was so proud when I got done. Not only because I made the repair but also proud of the time we spent together. Always greeting me with a smile, a hug, and a big ole’ “there’s my grandson!”
I miss and love you always Pa! Enjoy God’s beauty and I will see you again someday!

To my Pa...
It has been a year. I miss you so much. It's hard to forget the love you had and the life you shared with us. I find myself whistling as you always did and it takes me back to so many memories of our visits when we came to the shop just to sit and tell jokes/stories. You loved us so much and I love you. You still show up in my dreams and you are forever in my heart.

I thought of you today. I felt you around me today. I felt your good nature within me today. I heard your cackling laughter and how you used to stop in the middle of telling us a story because it was funny to you.
I remember the time you made me play my ringtone over and over because you said it was the greatest sound in the world. It was of a baby laughing and you said, "You can't be sad when you hear something like that. Laughter is always the greatest sound".
I remember that when I came over we would watch old westerns that I had never ever seen or simply watch America's Funniest Home Videos to see if people would fall.
We would sit and tell stories back and forth. Yours were always better. Stories of how you got a promotion in the Army by fixing a commanding officer's car or the time you played hookie to go fishing. I find myself whistling and now understand why you always did. Somehow, it keeps your mind busy but often drifts at the same time. It was always the same tune every time and one I will never forget. It always reminded me of the whistle portion that the rooster whistled in Disney's "Robin Hood".
I was never to old to hug you. You always welcomed a hug. Thanks for being such a great influence upon my heart. I thought I would write since I found these words. God bless Pa. Love you and miss you so much.

I thought you would be here forever. I know it's an impossibility, and that you are now no longer sick. I know you are with Jesus. Oh to hear your voice again. To here you say, "I love you too, Darlin'." The last words you said to me.
I just want to go back to when I was young and you were there for me. Always there for me. Just for a little while, Daddy. Just so I can hug you once more and tell you how much I love you. So I can thank you for raising me right. Teaching me how to be kind, how to be loving and how to tell a story or two. I always trusted you to guide me. And now you are gone.
I miss you so much Daddy. I cherish the memories. I thank God he chose you to be my daddy. You were the best! And I pray I learned enough from your teachings to guide my son during hard time, always being there when he needs me. I can never be as good as you, but I promise to do my best, like you taught me to be. 
I love you Daddy. I'll see you again someday! And oh the stories we will tell! Save me a spot by you.
