Dear Sweet Daddy, 
Words can 't express how much I miss you already. I know you' re having a ball through those pearly gates, seeing family and friends. Oh, what a party I know it is. Thank you for the wonderful memories, lessons, adventures and comforting ear when I needed it. Also, thank you for the multiplication drills, piggy back rides, Sunday morning tugs on the toe for church, fly speckled hamburgers, road trips and big kisses. 
Rest, have fun and I will see you again one day.
