Dad over the last days in my sadness, something keep nagging me and it was the words you have always spoken to me, "It will be alright, don't be afraid." You spoke those words so many times to me as a child. I know it will be alright but my heart is broken now that you are gone. It will be alright when I see you again. I love you. Eric
