Hi Baby; here we are again in the holidays. Just had an amazing Thanksgiving but you weren’t there again. Now Christmas is fast approaching and I miss you so much. I cry a lot but it doesn’t change anything your still gone. I Love You so so much and that will never change. Even though I miss you terribly I am so proud of the man you were. Honest, true, loving, caring, dependable, a wonderful father and grandfather and oh if you could have know all our great grandchildren you would have been so proud of each and everyone of them. You are my life and without you I am lost. I try to push on like you would want me to but it’s just not the same without you. I’ll do my best to make you proud. Your loving wife forever and always.
