Dad, I can't believe that you are gone. You went through a lot these past few years. I thought about you every day and asked mom about you all the time. Now, I know that you are safe and will be. We will keep an eye on mom and take care of her. I thank you for taking on an already made family. I love you and thank you for the good times. :)
