Dear Daddy aka Diddy,
Daddy I don't even know where to start. I suppose I should start by congratulating and telling you that you succeeded at something you said you would never be able to do. I often heard you tell people not to call you Bill because that was your dad and those were shoes that you could never fill. Daddy, you filled his shoes. I know this because all the wonderful things you always admired of your dad were also true of you. Your dad is a kind and loving man and father. He is one of the best men I know, the other is YOU!
I have so many fond memories of you from my childhood. I always considered myself a Daddy's girl and still do today. Those memories include; you coaching Brent's baseball team and rarely missing any of my softball games, staying up late on Friday nights playing Super Mario Kart on Super Nintendo and then getting up early Saturday morning to watch cartoons with me and Brent, taking me to see Van Halen for my very first concert ever, how you would always be there as soon as the sun would come up if we stayed with a babysitter overnight because you didn't like for us to be gone, you were the first one on our side of the family that I told I was pregnant with Isaac and even then you comforted and encouraged me.
Then I got to proudly watch as you were the same great father to Katelynn and Ben that you were to me and Brent. Always being there for them, encouraging and cheering them on, and loving them so unconditionally just as you had me and Brent. Gosh we were lucky!! I watched as you PROUDLY became a grandfather and an even PROUDER great-grandfather. Your love and adoration of each and every one of your children made you the MOST SPECIAL PERSON in my life and the epitome of what a good father and man should be.
Each day I have these random moments where I have trouble catching my breath remembering that your no longer with us. This is pain that is hard to explain and the worst I have ever felt in my life. It literally feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest over and over again. Truthfully it is paralyzing. I try to carry on keeping you always in my heart and doing my best not to be depressingly sad because I know you wouldn't want me to be so sad. I am going to be okay but only because that is absolutely what you would want and wish for me. I miss you terribly and I will remember you always and forever and ever carry you in my heart and memories until we meet again.
Love Always and Forever,
Always thinking of And remembering you!!
