Thank you dad. Thank you for teaching me, guiding me, kicking me in the butt from time to time, and for loving me. I have so many incredible memories of growing up by your side, and trying to be just like you. I remember everywhere we went as a family, you always seemed to run into someone you knew. I never understood that until now. You truly did touch so many people, and I am so proud of you for that. You taught me that it is so important to do your very best, and to lend a helping hand when ever possible.
Now your work here is done, and I want you to go, knowing that Steve and I will take care of mom for the rest of her days. I love, and miss you so much, and I can't wait to be by your side again. Until then, I will try my best to follow in your foot steps, and teach my children, the way you taught me. Please forgive me if I break down from time to time. I love you so much dad.
