Dad,
It has been just a little over a week since you left us . It has left a huge hole in my heart. I miss you so much already and wish we could have had more time together. You are now at peace and can climb the highest mountains and hike the endless trails in heaven. I will cherish our last days together....listening to all the great stories you shared about my childhood and yours. Some were new ones, and some the same great ones I had heard over and over again, but enjoyed them nevertheless!
I love you "daddy O"!
