DAD…………
I still cannot believe this is true.. I keep thinking You are going to walk through the door, and that everything is going to be "normal" and back to how it used to be. But then I remember the pain & suffering you have been dealing with.. and how hurtful it was to watch you every day get worse. I have been through a lot of difficulties in my life.. which you are well aware of, but watching you suffer has been by far the worst. We all prayed for Jesus to come & wrap his arms around you & take you home.. and He did..
There are no words to express how thankful I am for ALL you have done for me in my life.. I could never ask for a better Dad than you! One day we will all be reunited in Heaven… and that is what helps me get thru this terrible grief… & pain in my heart… Dad —- I Love you!!!!!!!!!!

Dad…… Well we (barely) survived the holidays —- every Christmas song made me think of you! It was so tough! Things will just never be the same.. I always heard the saying "All Good Things come to an end"… but no one says How to make that end feel less painful! Guess that means there truly is no way.. we just have "to deal"… Your birthday is coming up— we toasted to you yesterday.. We all Love & Miss you Dad! Happy Birthday – You are back where you started – in the Hands of Our Heavenly Father!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Judy
