Dad: I know I have not talked to you in a while, but you know you are always on my mind. You know you are always on Moms. I so wish you were here! She so needs you. I so need you! What am I going to do?

Hey Dad: How are you doing in Heaven? Just sitting here in NH in your Chair. Cannot sleep as always, had a lot of Health things going on, but I am hanging in there. My heart, knee I am determined to retire and travel and enjoy what I saved for all these years and enjoy it. I just wish you were here to enjoy it too along with Mom. She is hanging in there. I can see she is starting with her knees and her back, but she is getting along. You know Mom she is a a fighter. Keith is hanging in there he is a fighter like you. You instilled that in us! Nothing will stop us. I know I don't write and come here often but you know you are always on my mind and in my heart.

Hi Dad: Miss you! Hope you are doing well. Mom is doing ok. I have had some health issues of late as you know. I was told someone was watching over me...I know that was you.....thank you! That was sure scary! I know I scared Scott and Mom big time! I was scared too! Now I really know how you felt, but I really never wanted to know how that felt. I also realized now how young you were at 52 having your first 4 bypass. Even thought mine was not a bypass, with cracking my chest, boy does that hurt! The healing takes so long, never mind the pain. Mom and Scott really helped me, thank god for that! I know you were sitting next to me on the couch everyday recouping! Also holding my hand while I cried. I was soooooo scared! Lots of love. Love you to the moon and back!
