Dear Dad,
There is not a single day, or, many minutes that go by without me thinking about you. I love you and I miss you indescribably. You were my best friend. You lived a great life and taught me so many great lessons, from father to son. I know that you are resting in peace in Heaven, in God’s kingdom. I will see you again.
I love you,
Philip Jr.
