Dear Dad, I want to thank you for being the absolute best to mom and all 6 of us kids. I can’t begin to explain how much we all loved you and how much we appreciated how much you did for us on a daily basis. I know you’re up in heaven now and are going to watch down on all of us until we meet again. We will all miss you dearly and won’t forgot the patience you had for each and every one of us. Our house was always chaos and you were the calm soul that somehow handled it with grace. You held on so strong these last few of weeks, and I truly believe you held on until Christmas (your favorite holiday) so that instead of feeling sadness in the future, your family could celebrate you together. I’m so glad I got to spend 32 amazing years by your side. I’m going to be heartbroken for a while but I know you would want me to bounce back and celebrate you instead of sadness. The family dynamic will take some getting use to without you with us but I’m going to strive to celebrate you everyday. I have never meet a kinder, smarter or more giving soul. I’m proud that you were my dad. You left an amazing legacy behind you and you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace 🪽
