Hey dad, I miss you more than you know. You did things out of love were your children could not understand and they held it against you. Sometimes pain gets expressed in unintelligible ways, and it’s ok because you were only trying to love us the best way you knew how. I’ve kicked alcohol for 7 years now and I’ve gotten married and I have 2 daughters. I want to thank you for being my father and that I’ll love you forever. I will see you soon dad, along with Jackie. God is everywhere, and I know you are a part of His plan.
