Twenty seven. Twenty seven years without you. 

I think of you often. I see and feel signs of you all around me. 

I miss and love you.

Happy birthday, Dad. 

You would've been 83 years old today. 

I has been almost 27 years since I saw you last. 

I miss and love you.

Your birthday was only two weeks after your death. You were so close. 

Today would have been your 76th birthday.

Miss you.

One year. It has been one year since you have been gone. It doesn't seem like it. 

I was standing in a store last week reading an stepping stone and I thought of you. It read: When someone you love becomes a memory the memory becomes a treasure. 

Love and miss you, Mom.

Happy birthday, Dad. 

You would've been 80 years old today. 

You have been gone for almost 24 years. There is so much that you have missed. Life would have been better if you were with us. 

We all miss and love you.

Happy birthday, Mom. 

I won't be able to say that to you this year. We lost you two weeks short of your 75th birthday. 

Just know that we all love you and miss you.

I can't believe it's been 20 years, Dad. Twenty years you have been gone. Sometimes it feels like you left us a week ago. I wonder how different our lives would have been if you were still here. 

I think of you often and hope to see you again. I hope you are proud of us and how we have gone on without you. 

I love you and miss you.

Twenty years ago, you said goodbye and walked out into the warm summer sun. We said goodbye, not knowing that would be the last time. The course of our lives were changed forever that day.

Another year has passed since you left us. I think how would life be if you were still with us? 

 

Besides our family, many other people miss you too. I talked to school administrator last week that was friends with my Dad. This school administrator interacted with Dad on a weekly basis because of Dad's position on the school board and as a parent. The school administrator said to me on the phone that he missed my Dad. He said that my Dad was so proud of his kids, promoted girls sports so much and would do anything for the school. Even though almost 19 years has passed since he died, I started to get choked up and misty eyed while talking to the school administrator. It is a nice feeling knowing that Dad had such a lasting presence with people in the community. 

Until we meet again. I miss and love you.
