Hi, Dad....it's me Susan. I missed you today of course, but I really missed you Sunday ....Father's Day. All I wanted was to be able to pick up the phone and talk to you since I couldn't be there in person......I can only close my eyes and pretend a conversation....which I have done many times...... lately they always ended with "I love you dad" and you always responded, "I love you too Susan, more than you know." You are missed each and every day. I love you dad.....yup, I heard it........
