My father and my hero.I have so many good memories. Your advice, guidance and life lessons are still with me today. Some how your character and sense of humor showed up in my child even though he never met you. In his daughter's eyes he is their hero.
Every August is so sad for me. I mourn the entire month. I miss you the same as I did in 1983.
You are in my thoughts every day. The pain is the same. I just had to learn to live with it .
