My dad was and always will be a big part of my life.  Though he wasn't perfect, he was the only father I ever knew that would protect me.  He was there for me when I most needed it.  Sometimes he couldn't always be there in person but I would get a postcard or a phone call from him.  It would be just what I needed. 

I miss dad so much each and every day and I wish he was here with me.  He could be frustrating at times but I still loved him and he still loved me.  I know he is in a better place and he no longer feels the pain of all his issues in life.  Take it easy now dad, you are with God and His Angels now.
