Hi Dad, I miss you almost all of the time. You are always in my thoughts. This is the first time since you left that I feel like I can go on without you. I remember everything, all your wonderful stories, watching movies with you, and your invaluable advice. Andrew misses you terribly. You were his anchor, your advice and talks with him are sorely missed. It is a bleak existence without you. I know you look in on us I can smell the cigarette smoke at times. I know it is you and I laugh. We will meet again one day, until then you are always in my heart dad.
P.S. I don't think I was ever your favorite, but you were always mine. I know you loved us all and whether Sheila knows it or not she is my favorite and I know you always looked forward to her visits because she is so Sheila. You always lit up when she was around.
