I Miss My Dad
Dear Daddy,

Things have been different since you have been gone. It doesn't make any sense how one day you were working with Shaun on his truck and the next day you are gone. It was so sudden that still no one really knows what happened. No one can figure all of this out. Everyone is hanging in there, just like we all know you would want us to. You were such a great person Daddy. I know I never told you that but I know it. Everyone knows it. I never told you how much I do love you and how much I loved being your daughter. You helped everyone, even if you didn't know him or her. You welcomed anyone and any animal into your house. You hated being the center of attention but guess what Daddy? Today you WILL be the center of attention. The town put your truck out by road and I went out and cried when I saw it. It still doesn't make any sense. I'm going for my permit in the next two weeks. It's sad that you wont be here to see me, but I know you're watching me from heaven. I know you'll be watching me on a icy night trying to get home and you will be my angel helping me home. I'll be graduating in 2 years. It's sad that you wont be there to see me do that either, but I know you will be the sunshine coming from heaven smiling down on me. Daddy, you were such a great worker. I remember you would wake up every morning with a smile on your face, willing and ready to go to work. Even if you were sick and running a fever, you would show up to work. Even at 3 o'clock in the morning when you were in a sound sleep and they called for you to get a tree out of the road or to the plow roads, you were there. "SIMPLY THE BEST" they put on the truck. It is true Daddy, you were simply the best. You were quiet and you defiantly had your sense of humor. Which was pretty funny, but when you opened your mouth, if they were the smallest or biggest person in the room, they listened. Remember the time when you and Shaun went fishing and some kids rolled the tire down the hill and smashed Shaun's tackle box? Man, those kids were pretty scared when you ran up that hill. Daddy, I will always love you and you will always be in my mind. I haven't been able to sleep lately because everytime i close my eyes, you are there, and when I do I sleep with the television on. I took my nose ring out; I know you always hated it. I haven't had much of an appetite, but I hope it will come back soon. I'm going to get my grades up and go to a great school and become that vet that you always wanted me to be. Go rest high on that mountain now Daddy.

I love you,
Tonya
