I know this is suppose to be for the family, Dad, but I wanted to write to you. Im really sorry we lost contact through-out the years but I wanted to let you know how much you meant to me. Im really sorry I wasn't there, Dad. I am. I remember alot of my childhood memories with you.. I remember everytime me and my sister made u a picture.. u would store it away in your trunk along with half eaten candy.. you would date it and keep it.. Im just having a hard time believing that your gone now.. but you'll never be out of my heart.. I know that your looking down on me and my sister right now and its like I can hear u telling me "You dont have to cry... everything will be alright baby girl" like u use to do when I was little and upset about something...you would always hug me and let me know everything was okay.. but I cant help it now Dad.. I cant stop. You never really got the chance to know your grandkids.. I know they would have loved you just as much as I do. I remember so many times driving by your house and seeing u out sitting on your porch... you loved sitting on your porch... you've given me so many good memories and i'll NEVER EVER EVER forget you and I cant wait to see you again. I love you Dad...
And to Joann, if u read this, Im really sorry for your loss.. I know he meant alot to you too and I know how much you loved him. I stopped coming over to your guys place because I honestly didnt think you liked me.. and if u didn't im sorry for whatever I did to make u feel that way. Im praying for u and if u ever need someone to talk to.. or cry on someones shoulder.. im here.. always.. Im really sorry for your loss and i'll most definately be there at the visitation and funeral and i'll most definately be there for you because I know its what Dad (Larry) would have wanted. Always in my prayers...
