Our hearts ache to see him just one more time or to hear his voice one more time. We understand this is not easy for any of us and as time goes on the pain will get less if not at all, but its okay and know that through prayer we will get through this.
Let us reflect on the happier times because that is what he would want. This is a time to celebrate his life and Legacy and continue to hold him near and dear to our hearts.
This is not a goodbye nor a farewell, but as we always said before ending any call, "We will see you later"
We Love You Dad!
