A Little Note for Daddy

A little note for Daddy:

~Thought of you today, but that is nothing new.

~I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.

~I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.

~All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.

~Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part.

~God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.

Dear Dad,

Today I took the kids sledding and it so reminded me of you. I always loved when you took me. We would sled for hours and you never made me go in unless I was tired. You were always so much fun to be around on winter days. When we got home, you would make me hot coco and you always made the best hot coco. I miss those times that we once shared together. Now today, it's just a memory that I will always cherish. I miss you so much and still can't believe that you aren't with me. I know that tomorrow is the anniversary of your passing but I still can't believe you are gone. Maybe I just don't want to deal with the pain but it just doesn't seem real. I miss you so badly and wish more than anything that you were still here. God sure does have his timing and let me tell you, it's not on my watch. If I were to have a conversation with God, I would just ask him if he could bring you back for one hour. That's all I need to hold you, talk to you, and touch you. And I miss your smile so I would need that too! Don't ever forget how much I love you Daddy!

Dear Dad,
Well it snowed yesterday and I all could think of was you taking me on Big Red in Castle Rock. You loved to have fun in the snow. If it wasn't Big Red, you were taking me sledding! You were always a kid at heart and you loved life so much. I look back on so many things you would say to me and now go, he wa...s right. Tim and I were just saying how much we miss our conversations with you. You could talk for hours, not let us get a word in but we miss it. I went up to the house on Thursday to get some of your tools and let me tell you, you are all through that house. I sat in your chair and listened to mom talk about how much she misses you and I can't even imagine. I miss you so much but for a wife to lose her husband, unbearable. We love you so much and miss you more than words could ever explain.
Love you,
Jenny

Dad, I asked God to show me last night that you were up there with him and he did! I know that you are happy and in heaven. What an amazing place to be with our father. You are probably in the most beautiful place you have ever been at. Singing, dancing, talking, laughing, smiling, and being you! I just miss you so much. And even though you are where God wants you to be, I still wish you were here with me. I can't wait until that day comes when we can see each other again. I love you Daddy!

Hi Dad,
Just thinking of you today! At my mom's night out on Friday, a few of the moms and I were talking about you. And one of the moms said that you are probably having the biggest party of your life right now up in heaven. And for a minute I thought, she is right. While we are all sitting down here sad and confus...ed, you are up in heaven with God, singing and dancing and having the best time of your life. Now when I have so many sad moments, I think of your party! And then I think that I can't wait to come up there and celebrate it with you. But I don't think that my time on earth is over just yet. Soon though! I miss your smile and I miss your laugh. I can't wait until I see you again.

I love you always,
Jenny

Hi Dad,

The numbers are in and Lexi raised $605.00 for the American Heart Association in honor of you! DC raised over $4,000.00 this year! You would be so proud!

Tomorrow will be 6 months since you were taken away from us. Just thinking about how you could still be here haunts my mind every day. I miss you so much. I hope one day Lexi will know and understand just what she did, could have saved a life. I wish that life was yours but God has other plans, right?

My tears are happy tears to say that everyone who sent in their donations, made a difference in someones life.

We love you so much and wish every day that you were here with us.

Love,
Jen and Lexi

Happy Valentine's Day Dad! I always loved this day. You always made it special and full of love. I hope you got our Valentine's from Mom, Tim, Lexi, Asher and me today! As they flew up to heaven I was reminded of how much I love you. Even though you aren't here with us, my love for you will never change. I wish more than anything in this whole world I could have changed the out come of your life. I wish that you were here next to me. I wish I could see your smile again and hear that laugh of yours. I just wish you were here today with us to celebrate this special day. I love you so, so, so much!
Happy V-Day!
Love you,
Jenny
