Well it has been fours years ago today that my Dad has passed away. On one hand it seems like yesterday he was here, and then there are times that it seems like forever ago that I actually got to see, hear, and talk to him. I have never missed anyone or anything so much in my life. You know that feeling? You miss someone so much that it actually aches?
I took the boys to his grave today and the weather was so beautiful. I wished so badly that he was here to see them and I didn't have to explain to Drew once again that Grandpa was is heaven now. There are many things I miss about my dad, his laughter, and if you knew him you would know exactly what I mean, his love of food, his great gardening skills, (our lawn was perfect) and most of all, his love of my mother, his family and God. He would have loved my boys! There are many times a day that they do something and I smile or laugh and I can hear Dad's laugh right along with me. My Drew looks just like him to me sometimes. They share the same brown eyes. My dad wanted so badly to meet him but God wanted him sooner.
At least I know that they have the best guardian angel they could have looking over them.
Today and always you are with me. I will always remember you and see and hear you in my dreams. We will be together again.
I love you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers Gina. God Bless you and your family.
What a beautiful tribute to your dad. He was always and will continue to always be a great man in my life. He is someone who his infulence stays with you forever. I have so many great memories of your dad and I feel blessed to have called him, "Uncle." I tried to call yesterday, as I knew it was his angel birthday, but we just kept playing phone tag.
Let's chat soon,
