A letter to my Dad...

Hello Dad,
   It's me...your Sweetheart.  I am just writing to say I love you.  I miss you terribly and think of you everyday.  So many things remind me of you that it's hard not to think of you. 
   If I hear Yellow Submarine play...I remember the time when I was a little girl sitting on your bed and I wasn't feeling well.  You picked up your guitar and started playing and singing that song to me...but in a funny voice. :)  I can still hear it to this day.  If I see a hanging fruit basket in someones kitchen...I think of how yours never had fruit in it...it had candy bars!  Or anytime someone wears socks with flip-flops...yep Ninja Turtle feet.  Reminds me of you!  Brown clothes remind me of you.  Shoshone  reminds me of you, frozen grapes, hotdogs on bread...not a bun, that old weird nose board game that we could never remember the name of...all remind me of you.  Old coffee cups, which I have a collection of now...yes all because of you.  When I look in the mirror EVERYDAY and see the music notes flowing up from my heart...I really think of you.
  I have so many memories of you and although not all of them were good, the good ones are the ones I choose to remember.  You are not with me anymore...I wish you were.  I wish you could have met my wonderful and loving husband...my 3 absolutely amazing children.  I even wish you could have met Rocky.  :)  I wish you could be here for holidays and school events to watch my kids grow.  I wish they could know who they are talking about when they do refer to you.  
  I am so sorry your time on earth was cut so short.  You didn't deserve to go so soon.  Just know I will always love you, miss you and think of you!  You were my Daddy and still are!

Love Forever,
Your Sweetheart!
