Letter to my Father

To my Dear Dad,
Tomorrow we will have to say good bye to you here on this earth. I know I may not have said it enough that I love you, but I also did not think you would be taken from us so soon. You were so rich in life and you gave so much love. I am so proud of you and Thank God every day for giving me to you and Mom. You and Mom have loved and protected me, and taught me the values in life. You have always been my idol and hero and I can only hope to be half the man that you are..... I was taught by the best. We have shed so many tears the past few weeks and we have shared so many stories about you. You did so much good and would help anyone out. You are a very forgiving man and your heart is made of gold. Don't worry about us we will be okay and Matt and I will take care of Mom. You and Mom have been married for over 44 yrs and this will be a big adjustments for her and she will miss you so much. She, Matt and I sat in your bedroom tonight and cried together. I don't think you realized how many people love you. I can tell you that you are a very loved man with so many wonderful family and friends. Mike Solis told Mom and I tonight, as he was driving us home, with tears in his eyes that you are a second Father to him and he will miss you and his conversations with you. Although it is so hard to say good bye and let you go I know I must for I don't want you to suffer any longer. Grandma and Grandpa will be there to meet you. There will be others there to greet you like Kathi, Lisa & Laura, Aunt Norma, Aunt Micki, Aunt Ida, and Uncle Willy and all our other family members gone on. Best of all you get to be with Jesus and will become our special Angel.

With the tears flowing in my eyes and our hearts aching for you I will tell you again........ Dad I LOVE you so much and Thank You for being my Dad.

Your Son,
Perry
