I can't believe it's been 10 years since he was tragically taken from us and our world changed forever! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it all again for the rest of my life...But I miss everything about him; from his deep singing voice and unmistakeable laugh, to his cooking/baking (everything from holiday meals to cookies and the simplest sandwiches), his huge smile, the way he would get all worked up watching football, the rusty orange fleck in his eye, his white socks with moccasins, and his giant back cracking bear hugs!
I look at both of my girls and see him in them all the time, especially Caitlin right now since she’s basically my twin and I look so much like my dad. Knowing that he is the one grandparent who doesn't get to hug and snuggle them when I know he would have been the one to do so the most, since that's the kind of dad he was, truly breaks my heart over and over
I will take every opportunity to share stories about him, show them pictures, teach them how to cook like him, keep our traditions alive, let them know what kind of a person he was and most importantly I will tell them how much he loves them and watches over them everyday!
I love you so much dad...words can never truly describe it!
