Dad,
I miss you. I think of all the wonderful times we spent together. The most recent when you were here in, Maine. The beautiful mountains and lakes.
I think of all the things we did together through life. Like taekwondo, you teaching me to roller skate. The basketball hoop you put up for me. Throwing different balls in the backyard. You and Mom coming to see me in marching band. The dogs Heidi and Runi. On and on.
I will always miss my Daddy. Rest in Heaven with Jesus.

I am thankful for all that you taught me.
Your girl is taking care of herself, unlike you asked. I’ll be ok with all our memories.
One day we will be together, forever..
