The way that black pepper tasted on the Red Baron pizza last night was like you being there with me, telling me things will all be alright.

Thank you, Dad.
I love you

I'm missing you a lot today, Dadasaurus.
I think I'm gonna have a cup of coffee for you.
I will surely be thinking of you Wednesday when I'm riding some roller coasters.
Happy 39th Father's Day ✈️
Love always

I think you would have really liked Thing from the new Addam's Family show, Wednesday.

I've never got so choked up thinking an animated hand was about to die!

Passed by the Smyrna Air Base yesterday....I miss you, Dad.

Happy birthday, Dad.
I miss you so much.

I just found out my best friend's husband passed away too.
I hate diabetes
It takes the good ones.

Off to Florida tomorrow, Dad! I'm worried about my car making the ten hour trip. I remember how you always told me not to worry, long trips are not much more than we drive in a week or two.

Looking forward to the place I love. I'm going to swim and take in the sun. I know you loved it too.

Revin' up your engine
Listen to her howl and roar

Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone

Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight

She got you jumpin' off the deck
Shovin' into overdrive

Highway to the Danger Zone
I'll take you right into the Danger Zone

You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload

You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as it can go

Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be

The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity

Highway to the Danger Zone

Gonna take it right into the Danger Zone

Highway to the Danger Zone

Ride into,
The Danger Zone

Our "Question of the Week" in English 1010 was "Who do you ask if you have a big question?".

I've yet to find anyone to fill your shoes, Dad.

My research paper about the expansion of Amazon and its effect on our communities is too long and rambling (like twice as long as it's supposed to be!).

You had a gift for simplifying things. Though I'll probably figure out how best to present my paper, I sure miss you as always. I'm not excited about the holidays, and I hope no one wishes me a "happy new year".

Tears stream down my face sometimes during nap time at work, as the "indoctrinated by Disney" music plays softly for kids who'd rather not sleep.

Winter has always been my hated season, even more so now that we lost you then. I love you wherever you are, and miss you more than words can say.

Mark's building Lego sets, Tot's getting married, and I'm holding it together.

Vanessa and I are both starting college this semester.

Davy's voice is starting to crack and he's the tallest one in the house now. I wonder if he will be as tall as Pepper.

I miss you, Dad.
I love you

It's not a very happy Father's Day but we are happy, Dad.
I know you would want us to be.

I can hear your voice saying, "Give the kiddos a hug".

I remember how you even told me Happy Father's Day sometimes.

I miss not being able to call you up and talk.

I've been painting the little wooden planes I ordered back in January for your flower arrangement.
I'm doing one like a Blue Angel and the other like a Thunderbird.


Vanessa, Davy, and I love you.

I got the sax back today, Dad.
It was a fitting day...your birthday.

They said this particular horn has the "warble effect" due to the way the lowest chamber is designed.

The 70's were a time for experimentation I imagine ☮️

I miss you Dad.

I always thought it was funny when I'd call you on your work line and you'd answer, "This is Mark, may I help you?". Of course you didn't know it was me, but I always giggled about how professional you were. Even when I was calling about something probably silly and trivial (the house was never burning down anyway!), you always answered the same.

The words I miss most are "Hey, Kiddo!".
How I wish I could hear you say those two words to me again.
