I wish I could have had an important last conversation with you. I would have told you how grateful I am to have you as my Daddy. I would have thanked you for loving me so much my whole life. I would have thanked you for loving me no matter what and always wanting the best for me. I would have thanked you for all your great advice. I would have thanked you for instilling morals and values in me and teaching me what is important in life! I would have thanked you for being a great role model! I would have thanked you for loving my mother so much and taking care of her. I would have thanked you for making me laugh so much. I would have thanked you for making sure I know who Jesus is and setting a good foundation for my faith in Him. I would have told you how much I am blessed to have you as my Dad. I would have thanked you for all our great conversations and for listening to me talk, talk, talk! I would have told you I love you even though you already knew that! What softens the blow of you being gone from this earth is knowing you have met Jesus face to face and that you are full of joy now! I'm happy for you Dad. I'll miss you every day until I meet you again some day! less
