Hi Dad, Friday, March 30th was your 60th birthday. I sure wish you would have made it to see it. I thought about you all day... and most of every other day, too. I still can't believe you are gone. In a week, it will have been 6 months since you passed away. The days have gotten a little easier, but I still hurt so much. I miss you so very much. I would give anything to pick up my phone to see you calling. I loved hearing about your day and all of the wonderful things that were happening in your life. I think about all of the things that you taught me... You and I are so much alike, it's scary. When I tell people about you and some of your qualities, like how organized all of your paperwork was, they say Ohhh... that's where you get it from. That always makes me smile. I want to see you in myself and I want others to see it too. My husband and I are going to be building some steps outside soon, and I was just telling him yesterday that I wish you were here because you'd know exactly what to do. You left this earth much too soon. I'm sure that God had a plan for you and that he needed you, but you must forgive me for being selfish. I want you back. I want to hear your voice, and your laughter. I want to see your face and hug you tight. I have a really hard time with grasping the fact that you won't be here for the rest of my life. That's such a long time to be without a daddy. Please keep an eye on us... let me know you're around every once in awhile. I miss you so much. Love Always, Jen
