    Some days it seem so unreal. Not having my father anymore has been a daily struggle. Those that say it take time to heal 'Lied". I do believe ill live the rest of my life with a hole in my heart. There is so much I wish I could go back and say to the man I loved so much. However time is all I don't have remaining with you. Please know daddy that I will forever love you. Until we meet again.
