9 weeks...


It has been 9 weeks since you died, Daddy, and I miss you so much today! I keep listening to Mariah Careys "One Sweet Day" and I just stare at your picture. My heart is ripping and the tears just keep flowing. I love the line "I know you're shinning down on me from heaven" I feel this so much. I miss you grabbing my hand and holding it when I would come into the house. I miss you telling me that you love me. I miss you telling me about the kids and how much they grew the from the last time that you saw them, even if it was just a week or two that had gone by. You loved your grandchildren so much. I'm so glad that we moved from Gardnerville 9 years ago. I wanted the kids to know there PaPa and Grandma. I wonder if you miss Mom, I wonder if you miss all of us? I'm so thankful to have the gospel, know the eternal plan and know that it's true. I just miss you so much today.

What a beautiful tribute - I have no doubt he's missing you and smiling down on your beautiful family!

My father died on September 20, 1989, and not one day has gone by in those 19 years when my thoughts don't go back to him in some way. Although my heart doesn't thoroughly ache for him the way it did at first, but I still dearly miss him.

Just know, Susy, that as long as you carry your father in your heart, you'll never be without him.

((((Hugs)))) to you.
