Dear Dad,
We celebrated your birthday at our favorite restaurant, the Chateau in Waltham. Your favorite girls, Janet, Mom, Melissa, Jessy and me. We toasted in your memory. I had our favorite, Caesar salad and Haddock St Germaine, but no baked potato and no brownie sundae, no longer on the menu. But it was still delicious. What would have made the night perfect is if you were there with us. I liked to believe you were watching. Roxanne went out and got oysters honoring that you introduced them to her. She told your great grandson Carter all about you and will continue to share stories of her cherished memories with you. You are so missed everyday, but our memories never fade. I feel your presence when I kiss you good night and good morning every day. I hope you and Stacey are together celebrating. Love you always, your favorite first daughter, Deby
