“Hey dad.. Sixteen years is a long time. You've been at the back of my mind all day.. and I keep trying to not think too much to avoid getting upset.. but I don't want you to think you're not remembered!

“Dad was always laughing, or making someone else laugh. He hated silence and much preferred music and conversation. Now that I'm married, with kids of my own, I can't help but picture him still with us. He would have been so proud of his grandchildren.

He was one of kind, and I know he's with me every moment of every day, probably laughing at my dumb mistakes, and comfoting me when I fall apart missing him.”
