It’s been quite a few years. Still you have been on my mind. I have so many memories with you and all I connect love with. We were so close. From picking pecans off the trees to enjoying ice cream on a sunny day. You were a great father to me and blood wouldn’t have made us any closer. You taught me many things mostly what a man should be and I appreciate such great life lessons. There will never be another man that replaces you in my heart I will forever love you. I will never leave you and I will tell my children about you when I have some. I miss you dearly - America Hailey Banks (age 15)
