Dear Dad

It’s so hard for me to believe you’ve been gone almost four years.  It seems like yesterday when I could count on your smile, your advice, a joke or a suggestion.

I find it hard to believe I’ve made it this long without your shoulder, your opinion or your laugh.

I find it hard to believe that the more time goes by, the more I miss you.  And dad would have loved these lyrics…

I loved her first, I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep

Happy Father’s Day Dad.  I love you so much.
