My Dad was 53 years old and died on Setember 24, 2001 of congestive heart failure. He died in his sleep. He always said when he dies he hopes he goes in his sleep. I can't begin to tell everyone what my Dad meant to me and our whole family. He was our rock. He was a man who liked to tell stories and I've heard them all except for the stories he told that Sunday. He talked about death and told me that he knew he didn't have long but was hoping for atleast 6 months. He held me and he and I cried. He told me that day that if he knew he would go to heaven to be with his mom then he'd go right then. I kept telling him to stop talking like that for gods sake Dad you are only 53. A certain peace had come over my dad that day that I have never seen. I had to go run some errands and told him I would come back tommorrow to see how he was doing and he told me, God, honey I feel so much better since youv'e been here.He kissed me and would have never thought that would be the last time I would ever kiss my Daddy goodbye. My dad died that night in his sleep and I THANK GOD for our time on this earth I THANK GOD for our talk on Sunday. Mostly Dad what I want you to know is that you never thought you were a great parent and I couldn't have asked for a better dad than you. I counted on you for advice, you always knew the best way. You were my leader and now I'm lost. I can't begin to tell you how much I miss your face, your smell ,your laugh you were everything to me and my life is just empty. The righteous Brothers come on the radio and i think you are sending me a sign. Mom is so extremely sad. Who's hair is she going to blowdry? She moved in with us and I try to keep her busy, but sometimes I just look in her eyes and can physically feel her pain and theres nothing i can do to fix it. The mortuary put your headstone on your grave today and the funeral we had for you was first class, exactly the way you liked everything in your life, only the best. I still can't get it through my head that you are not here anymore. I think of you everyday and talk to you at night. Our lives have forever changed. We all miss you terribly. Dad, I love you. Thank you for all you have done for me. I miss our talks. I could go on and on.... Remember that little note you wrote me? Well, you had said that as long as you were alive that I would never walk alone, You will ALWAYS be alive in my heart and I felt you walking with me today, Thank you Dad!!! Love forever, Chrissy

I Miss My Dad
