    Hey Dad, Cant believe you been gone 7 yrs already. So much has happened and I am so very sorry for not writing. As you know mom has taken up most of my time. I hope you and God continue to look after her. The cancer seems to be shrinking and we are all just hoping it continues. With God's grace we can have her around for a long time. We all miss you very much and really wish you were here. You have been on my mind here lately so i am thinking you needed me to talk to you and I needed to talk to you. The world around me is crumbling and this is so much for one person. I am under so much stress with mom and chad. It is hard doing it alone. please give me strength. I love you dad. talk with you soon. ~Kim~

    Dad, It has been a little over 5 mos now. It still isn't much easier but I'm coping better. I wish you were here, But I now know deep down your body and heart just couldn't do it anymore and I understand the everyday struggle you went through. I didn't get to say goodbye to you, I miss you so much and love you dearly. please keep a watch over us as you have. but I would still like a visit from you in my dreams. I still don't know why you didn't visit me yet. Love you forever daddy!!!

    Dad, Words can't express how shocked I am that you aren't with us. My heart is breaking so bad right now. I don't know how to move on without you. Who am I supposed to talk to now that you aren't here to listen. How do I go in without my daddy....I love you so much and I miss your dearly.. Kim

    dad it's been almost 2 mos and I struggle everyday. I want you here with us. Things are not the same nor will they ever be. Christmas is coming and it is so hard to celebrate without you. How are we supposed to go on when your aren't here. I miss you so much. When you died a part of my soul died. Who am I going to talk to now? What am I supposed to do without you. This is just to hard. Missing you always

  • December 11, 2019

    Dad, Christmas is coming. Did shopping only because I had to. It was hard not buying for you this year. seen something you would have loved. I am sure you know this is killing me. my heart is being ripped out daily. I have a hard time accepting that you aren't here. All I do is cry. You belong with us. Its hard to function without you here. Its so hard to explain what im feeling. I just know I miss you so much and I want you back with us. we weren' t ready and I am sure you weren't either. I am mad at God right now for taking you away. I didn't get to say goodbye dad. I love you, until we meet again, Your Daughter

  • December 11, 2019

    Dad, Everyday is so hard without you. I know you see my struggle. How could this happen. The only way i get to talk to you is to the air. You can't answer me back. I can't hear you voice, your advice, or hear you even yell at me for taking this so hard. I know what you would say but I just cant get through this. We are coming up on 5 months and there is not a second that goes by that I don't think and miss you. Why did you leave us? It wasn't time. We weren't ready. I miss you so much dad. There is so much that you are missing. I know you see it. Just know we are missing you and life is so hard without you. Ill write soon and talk to you later.

  • December 11, 2019

    Hi dad, Sorry I didn't stop by on your 3rd year anniversary. again another year that was just unbearable. when does this pain stop? why can't you be here? why did you leave? did you just give up? was all the health problems just to much anymore? I wish I knew the answers, I wish you were here. mom's health is getting bad and she just won't listen to anyone. but im doing what I need to do just like I did with you. argue with her lol. I miss you so much dad. think of you everyday...love you always ~kim~

  • December 11, 2019

    Hi dad, Still missing you badly, coming up on 6 months and there isn't a day that goes by that your not on my mind. I still can't believe your not here. so much has changed and so much is different without you here. How do we make it without you when you were our rock! I thought you would be here forever. I love you dad.

  • December 11, 2019

    dad as we approach 7 months tomorrow, it's still hard to adjust without you. I come on here to talk to you. It helps me feel better. I miss you so much and wish you were with us. your birthday is coming and so is fathers day, june is going to be so hard. This is the first of everything without you. I wish things were different. I just want you here. why did this happen? why were you taken? we needed you here with us!!! I love you dad

  • December 11, 2019

    Hey Dad, Sorry I haven't written in awhile. its unbearable to talk to you. its been 2 yrs and it still seems like yesterday. So much has happen. You have a new great grandson but I bet you already knew that. Scarlett is now 2 1/2 and she still looks at your pics and says pop pop. funny how she still remembers you. Everyone is still struggling but trying to go on with everyday life as hard as it is. Life is definitely different without you. There is so much difference without you. I hope you are watching over us and keeping us safe. I love you dad and missing you everyday!

  • December 11, 2019

    Hey Dad, Been awhile since I wrote something to you, but trust me, everyday I think about you. still trying to get a grip but it's so hard. The struggle without you is real! Its so hard and I don't know how I am doing it! I don't know where you went, your death changed me and my beliefs. Changed my life. I miss you so much dad. Wish you were here. Loving and missing you always. Love you

  • December 11, 2019

    hey dad, well your 2 yr anniversary just passed. we are all going through some emotions. it's not easy that's for sure, but I know you know this. time doesn't heal anything. I love you dad

  • December 11, 2019

    Hey Dad, well I guess you already know whats going on with mom so I don't need to tell you. its only been 2 yrs since you and now this. You seem to visit everyone in dreams, but why not me? do you feel I am not ready yet, do you still see the struggle. life is not the same without you here. I think about you everyday and wish you were here. but I guess where ever you may be, guess it's better than here. Love you and miss you so much dad. you are always with us!

  • December 11, 2019

I feel like im going to break at anytime. I miss you everyday dad. I hope you heard me yesterday when I was talking to you. I hope you listened. Love you so much. ill write soon`

Just want you to know I miss you everyday. Love you dad Kim
