When i first got the news all i could think of was getting to you as fast as i could. I wanted to be with you, i wanted to hug you, i wanted to hold your hand, i didnt want you to be alone! I wanted to see you Dad but i never got the chance. Today will be the hardest day of my life, finally getting the chance to see you but not at all how i envisioned you to be. The tremendous void In my life and the scar that will be left behind will be one that could never heal. I dont know if you'll ever know how much you really mean to me but i want you to know that not a second goes by that i dont miss or think of you! Cherishing all the memories of us, thanking you for all that you taught me, all that you've instilled in me, for all your hard work, for never giving up even when things seemed impossible. You are the best father anyone could have asked for and you were one hell of a man!! You set the bar so high and are truly an example of what every man/father should be. Your love of music has touched so many people in so many different ways and i know your so proud to know that. DJ Mel-Song for the heavens now, they are so lucky to have you. I love you Dad! I always have & I always will.
