It's been over a year since God called you home and there is still an empty space in our lives,where you once stood. We are continuing on with our lives,as you would expect us to,but there are so many times when that is very difficult. We know you send signs to us to let us know that you are still here in spirit. From the phone calls,flickering and flashing lights,to the visions we have of you in our dreams. If there were anything I could ask of you and God would allow,it would be, please ask God to help you,help Mom. She's lost without you. Though she is doing better,the acceptance of your absence is still a day-to-day struggle for her.I know you can ease her suffering,through God's blessing upon her. Don't ever stop showing the love you have for us. Some days it's what carries us through the heartache and becomes part of the memories we share of you. Forever in our hearts,Pappy. We love you.
