Another day has passed since you have been gone. I still find myself expecting to see you when I come down the stairs in the morning, but the house is quite now. You are no longer waiting for me to come see you. Mornings are the hardest times for me. It was such a routine to get up in the morning and have our coffee before I started work. I have to keep your bedroom door closed now, because when I pass it, I know you won't be there. I miss you so much dad and I hope you know how much I loved you. I think you did. I pray I showed and told you enough. I know in time the pain will lessen, but will never go away. I will miss you and mom each and every day for the rest of my life.
Patty,My love and prayers are with you. Hold on to those precious memories. My memory of him is that he always greeted me with a smile and was so very kind.
My love and prayers will continue for you and your family.

I love you dad. It's only been a couple of days but this house sure is quite and feeling the loss of you. My heart hurts so bad that I can barley breath. I have so many beautiful memories, that I hold close and dear to my heart of the two of us. Some memories were not "Mom" approved. Like riding my bike to the VFW club, to hang out with you and all your veteran buddies. I was always greeted with a smile, a bottle of coke, and BBQ chips waiting for me at the bar! We were a team and we stayed a team throughout my life and yours and for that I am thankful! You took a piece of my heart with you when you died, but know you live on through me. I am proud to be your daughter! please say hello to mom for us and give her our love. This separation is only temporary, and I know one day our team will be back together again.
Your loving daughter,
Patty
