"Hello Again Dad
It's hard to believe that it's been 2 years since I've spoken with you face-to-face - feels longer.  No wonder I feel that vast emptiness sometimes.  I think of you everyday and I miss you very much.  I look at your picture on my board everyday in front of my computer and through you that same smile back at you with all my Love, Linda"

"Hi Dad
Still think of you just as much as ever.  I miss you so but I am at peace knowing you are.  Today is your birthday and tomorrow is Thanksgiving (your favorite time of year).  I will celebrate both days in your honor!  Thank you for watching over all of us, I sense you in my heart.  I Love you LOTS!  Your daughter, Linda"

"Hi Dad
It's been a year already and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you or talk to you.  I remember your last days and years of suffering so it brings me comfort knowing you are at peace now.  When I think of your charming ways, the laughter we had and times of hearing your voice, I can't help but smile.  I Love You. XO"

"Happy Birthday Dad!
When I saw you last night and reminded you that it was your birthday, you gestured 'so what' -  it's probably more important to me because I know it may be your last one.  I'll always remember our dinner we shared with you!"
