Dear Daddy,

How we miss you so, and how we will miss you in the times to come. Things must have been so bad to have given up so much. We forgive you for not being there to see us grow up and become the strong and loving people that you taught us to be. We forgive you for not being there to see us graduate, get married, or ever know your grandkids. But we know that you will always be with us as we go on with our lives. We hope you have reached eternal peace in Heaven with God, are happy, and in no pain.

We pray that you know how much we loved you and will still continue to love you forever.

Love always,

T, C, Big Guy, and Birdie
