Dad it's been almost 8 years since you left us, and everyone says that things will get easier with time, that is so untrue, because I am missing you like no other, I sure miss our good times together. You were such an amazing father no doubt, we NEVER lack anything we ever needed or even wanted for that matter. You were definitely a father a child could only dream of having. Dad I will see you when the Lord is finally ready for me to go come home so when I do, you, Scotty,both my Papa's, both my Granny's, all my loved ones that's passed already, y'all be waiting on me at those Pearly Gates. By the way you, Scotty, and Papa save me a few deer and fish in heaven! Dad I miss you so bad, there's no way I could ever explain in words just how bad, but I know you wouldn't wanna come back to this crazy world we living in. Dad I Love You With All My Heart And Some!!!! Love Your Son!!!!
