Bruce,
Tomorrow will be bitter sweet… Normally we would be celebrating your birth but now we are left to mourn your passing. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been six months since you left us and I must admit, none of us has been the same since. To this day, I still hear your voice in my head and literally laugh out loud about the funny things you used to say. There have been many things that I learned from you over the years but to me, the most important was to never take life to seriously. You were always the life of the party and always had something to say. No matter what the situation was, you always made the most of it and always had a smile on your face. Though I miss you greatly, as well all do, I’m gonna take this time and do the same. From now on, I’m not gonna dwell and be bitter about the fact that your gone, I’m going to be grateful and honored that I got to know the wonderful man that you were, and feel blessed to be able to call you Dad. Happy Birthday in Heaven!
Love,
Gary
P.S. As you would want me to, I’m also gonna take this time to brag about the fishing medal that you were never able to beat me for. It’s still one of my prize possessions! One day, I hope we meet again, so the fishing challenge can continue. Until then… I’ll always be one half of the great trout fishing champs!
