Dad…so many images come to mind whenever we speak your name; it seems without you in my life things will never be the same. What happened to those crazy days when we were just children; when you managed to make the ordinary days like a roller coaster ride. What happened to all those times when we always looked to you; no matter what happened in our lives you could turn my gray skies blue. Dad, some days we hear your voice and turn to see your face; and then we realize that it all has been erased. Who will be there to make us laugh at our own expense. If we could turn back time and once more hear your voice; I’d tell you that out of all the dads, you would still be our first choice. Please always know we love you and no one can take your place; years may come and go but your memory will never be erased. We know, in our heart: that you are in a better place now.
