Dear Dad,
Oh how I miss you so much. It seems as time goes by, and it’s so hard to believe it’s been 21 years since you’ve been gone, I miss you more and more each minute.
The other day I was at a grocery store and as I was coming out, this man was coming in to the store, and he looked identical to you. He was your twin. I had to take quite a few glances at him, and my heart flipped. I started to cry. I so wanted to go up to the man to see how much he resembled you up close, but I chose not to, instead to remember you when we were together in happy times.
Soooo many happy times and funny and fun times I had with you. I especially remember when we went hunting and I asked you to buy me a pack of cigarettes. Think I was about 17 or so. Of course you said no way, being totally against smoking, so I told you ok fine, then I’m not going hunting with you :)
Then you caved and gave me a 10 dollar bill.
When we got to the store, you sat in the car waiting for me to go in. I told you no, that you were going in to get them for me.
Again, you said no way. So again I said ok I’m
not going hunting with you. And again, you caved and went in to buy them for me :)
Then off we went hunting with your beer in the back seat and my cigarettes in my purse :)
You never had to get out of your car to shoot a partridge. You pinged them off one by one from your driver’s seat.
We always had sooo much fun :)
We always went home with more than enough partridge, and fish too, but the fishing memories are for another time :)
I love you so much Dad. I miss you soooooo very much.
I can’t wait to see you again.
Love forever and a day,
Rhonda xoxo ♥️
