He loved to hear about his great granddaughter and his goal was to spoil her rotten. He spoke about her daily to whoever would listen. He was a very proud great grandfather. He was loved by many and will be missed dearly.
I missed the day you went away.
There were so many things I wanted to say.
But you were called home.
And I feel so all alone.
I know it's selfish to feel that way.
But you are my daddy.
I feel like a piece of myself left with you that day.
I hope you know how much I love you and how much I care.
And that I wish you were sitting right here.
I have to remind myself that you're no longer in pain.
So daddy until we meet again.
