Dad, something changed in me the day we lost you. I had expected to feel one way, but I didn’t expect what I was left feeling. I love you and I miss you every day so make sure you are there waiting for me when I get up there years from now. Till then I’ll have my memories, all good I promise, rest easy dad. Love you.
