March 6, 2023
It's amazing that words still fail me.
The calendar says it's been two years but it feels like yesterday. Two years since you left enormous shoes that can never be filled. Things are still out of sync with your absence. Stumbled on a voice note of a conversation I had with you. I listened to your voice, your laugh. Crazy but I could see your face. Even in your illness you were still asking about others. You genuinely loved and cared for all of us. I never understood but now I do. There is so much I want to ask you, things I still need to learn, things I want to tell you, advise I still need....alas....
You taught me a lot. Your absence is also teaching me.
I will continue to try to live with the dignity and lessons you taught me. To love God, love my family, handle my responsibilities.
I will continue to do what I can to keep your family and name flying high.
Thank you daddy for everything.
