My father had lived a hardscrabble life but had a playful imagination. As a child he told me stories like the tragic tale of the boy who loved chocolate so much everyone he loved turned into chocolate. I thought then that the animal murals at a park actually talked, and that he could really make candy appear out of my ear. He was a brave and courageous man and I miss him.

The Day God took you home, I cried a million tears and since that day I have needed you a million times. Life is really hard without you, but I know you are out of pain and in Heaven with your Mom, Dad, brother and sisters.
I often lay awake at night thinking of you and the things we have done together. The good and the sad times we shared with tears running down my face. I Love You

Missing you every day.
