missing you...

It has been four long years without you.

I think of you everyday. 

I wish that I could still hear you give me words of encouragement when I'm down.

I wish I could still get that Fatherly advice that I always took to heart... even when I didn't want it.

Selfishly, I wish that you could still be here with me.

You are, just always and forever in my heart.

forever. and. ever.

I hope you are proud of who I am.

Sometimes when I act out, I know "eagle eyes" are watching.

You always watched. 

When I was starting to head in the wrong direction... you watched and disciplined.

Thank you.

You have absolutely no idea the love I have for you.

You may have an idea. 

There is a permanent whole in my heart without you.

I love you. 

Always have. always, always will.

Four l-o-n-g years today.

Rest in Peace, Daddy.
