I miss you dad. There are few people in this world like you. You always handled yourself with grace, humility, empathy, and always supported us in anything we attempted to do. Your advice was sound, it came with a quiet and loving tone, and we all knew how you felt about us. That's a blessing. I hate that you were in so much pain, but I appreciate the fact that you didn't know how sick you really were. As much as I hated to see you depart this earth, I could not stand to see you in pain, and I could not see you living anywhere else but your home in the country surrounded by your favorite furry kids. I regret not living closer, not seeing you more. I still have your voicemail messages which I will play often. I wonder if you really did know you were so sick, but wouldn't burden us with that information. It would be like you to do that. I wish you could be at your Celebration of Life gathering where all the people who loved you will send you off. There will be many tears, but many, many great memories of how you impacted all of us. You gave everyone exactly what they needed, you gave yourself, and we all will try to carry on your legacy as best we can.
I hope you run into Janice and Kathy so you can start up a new softball team. I'm sure our Grandma's and Grandpa's will also be cheering you on. Love you always, you were my greatest gift. xoxoxox. Jenn
