Another year of not having you with us.  Dad, you are greatly missed. When we are kids, we take life for granted. As life for us is hanging with friends and having fun, then something happens like having you taken from us so young. We truly loss our rock, our provider, and the Greatest Dad anyone could ever ask for. Then, we become Adults. We truly see what all you did for us. We want more of what we can't have anymore. Dad, the pain is still with us, you are missed and thought of everyday. Our family has grown as you know, mom had become tired and has had some changes. Help lead us in the right direction and make the right choices as we travel this road. We lay our arms open to God and know you are looking over us. Love you to the moon and back. 

DAD HERE WE ARE AT 26 YRS. OF YOUR PASSING. IT'S NOT A DAY THAT PASSES THAT I DON'T THINK OF YOU. ALL OF THESE YEARS THAT WE DON'T HAVE YOU. I KNOW I'M SELFISH THAT YOUR NOT HERE BUT YOU WERE THE ROCK OF THIS FAMILY. THINGS CHANGED SO MUCH AFTER YOUR PASSING. NOTHING SEEMS RIGHT ANYMORE WITHOUT YOU. I KNOW LIFE GOES ON BUT ITS HURTFUL NOT HAVING YOU HERE. I'M RAISING MY 3 GRANDSONS, IF YOU WERE HERE I KNOW YOU WOULD SHOW THEM THE WAY OF LIFE. THEY HAVE WILL BUT THEY NEED MORE MEN IN THEIR LIVES. MOM NEEDS SOME TENDER LOVING CARE. AS YOU KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR HER. WE NEED HER. PLEASE HELP HER. WE ALL NEED SOME WATCHING OVER.  I LOVE YOU DAD. WISH YOU WERE HERE WITH US. BUT I NEED TO REALIZE THAT YOU ARE IN HEAVEN. ITS EASIER THINKING THAT YOU ARE HERE. DAD THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT FATHER. I KNOW WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. I LOVE YOU.

Happy Birthday Dad. Today, you would have been 88. We miss you dearly. I talk to you a lot and ask you look over us. Mom is 84 now as you know. Please lead us in the right direction as we care for Mom. She is already talking about your Anniversary. We miss you and the family is not the same without you. As kids, we think we will always have our parents. As adults, the sadness never goes away when we lose our rock. I Love you dad.

HAPPY 88TH BDAY DAD. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST TIME GOES BY. YOU ALWAYS SAID AS YOU GET OLDER IT GOES FASTER. WELL I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU WERE CORRECT. DAY BY DAY GOES FASTER IN A BLINK OF AN EYE. AS THIS TIME GOES BY I DO REMEMBER A LOT OF GREAT TIMES OUR FAMILY HAS HAD. I MISS THOSE TIMES. 
MY LIFE HAS BEEN UP AND DOWN. BUT I'M STILL HERE. NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE MARRIED RAISING OUR GRANDSONS. I WISH YOU WERE HERE TO SHOW THEM HOW LIFE COULD BE. I'M TRYING TO DO SO. TO INSTALL ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE FOR US GIRLS. IT'S NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY WE DON'T THINK OF YOU.
I TRY TO GET TO THE CEMETERY AS MUCH AS I CAN. BUT I DO TALK TO YOU A LOT. WE KNOW YOU ARE UP THERE IN PEACE WITHOUT PAIN. YOU'RE UP THERE WITH LOVED ONES THAT ARE NO LONGER DOWN HERE. I MISS A LOT OF THEM. THE WAY WE ALWAYS HAD COMPANY OR GET TOGETHERS. THOSE DAYS ARE GONE. I WISH WE COULD DO IT NOW.
DAD I COULD GO ON AND ON. BUT I NEED TO CLOSE. PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR ALL OF US, ESPECIALLY MOM.

HAPPY HEAVENLY 88TH BIRTHDAY. WE LOVE YOU.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Dad. As our family grows, there isn't a day that goes by that you are not missed or thought of. Celebrating your Birthday in Heaven has gotten easier but never forgotten. My greed of wanting you here has gotten better knowing you are in Heaven and not in pain. Continue to look over us and continue to carry us in your heart until we meet again. We are looking over Mom and taking care of her as you said. She is a strong woman and misses you dearly.
