Dear Dad,

       I just wanted to drop you a line and say hi. I know it's been a while but i've been putting this off for a long time because it hurts too much to think too long about you. I miss you. I wish I could go back in time and do something, anything, that maybe could have kept you around,even if just for a little bit longer. I miss your smile. I miss your sense of humor. I miss your steadfastness( you were always a rock). I even miss you bitching at me when I screw up my life.. I wish that i had been a better son. I realize now that I could have been if I a gave a crap, but the truth is dad, I didnt. And i'm sorry for that. The only way I can make it up to you and be the son i want to be is to try to learn from your example and be the best dad that I can be. You were hardheaded but fair, compasionate and generous to a fault, and you had a work ethic like no one else i've ever met. I'm not there yet, and maybe I never will be, but as I get older i'm trying my hardest to do things in my life the way you might have done them. Although, I think i've got the hardheaded part down.lol.

I miss you dad, I love you, and I will never forget you or the man you were.

Happy Fathers Day Dad

love always
