Damn I miss you, and I still wish you were here every day. There are so many things I want to show you, so many people I want you to meet. You would be proud of who my friends are, I’ve been so lucky to surround myself with such loving people. I also wish you could be here to meet Spence, you would absolutely adore him. Mom and I miss you so so much. I hope you’re all doing well together up there. I love you so much, dad.
Remember when we used to go camping? Those were some of the best times. I miss those weekends terribly, and miss you more. I love you dad.

Hey dad. Its been a while. I miss and love you more than words can describe. Life is hard without you. My happiness is small and my will to live is becoming less and less. Mom thinks it's just because im sick, but I know those two things are unrelated. Its because I have been thinking about you more lately. Anyway, I love you so much and miss you like crazy. Check back soon.
Papa, Miss you so much. I hate that you have missed everything in my life. By first broken bone, my first day at a new school, my first day of middle school. My first dance, and my first musical. I also wish you could see the things that are going to happen; my first day of high school, my first, and last prom, my first really date, my marrage, but most of all, I hate that my children will never be able to meet you. I hate that they wont get to eat coco puffs with you, or watch Nascar Wrestling and boxing with you. I hate that they wont be able to walk me down the isle, or beat up the first guy that breaks my heart. You will never teach me to paint, or tell me more stories of Kansas. But I am thankfull for everything you did teach me: how to fish, how to set up a camper, how to start a fire, and be a handyman. You taught me that sickness doesnt affect the soul. You taught me to have faith and to be myself. I will miss you forever and always daddy. I love you to pieces.
Daddy,
I miss you so much. You were my world, and everything I want to be. I love you to much to decribe, and I know it sounds silly, but I still want you back. I think about you every day. I miss watching wrestling, boxing and nascar with you. I miss my powers and coco puffs. The Hot chocolate and ISU mug. I miss the smell of Arimis throughout the house. I can't see See you later Aligation when I leave every morning. Daddy I will never forget you. Much love.
Daddy:
I miss you today. And yesterday. I have missed you since i lost you, and I will always miss you.
"There will be a day that the world goes crashing, and the people that come back strong, are the people more likely to succeed."
Daddy,
I miss you all the time. You have always been my hero, and you always will be. I miss peeking out my class window and seeing you sitting there. waiting for me. I miss the racing and the boxing on friday night. I miss your smile and your kindness. Some day, I will come to see you. But before that, I want to see what you saw. I want to go to the Air Force. I want to go to Lackland AFB, and complete your dream. I want to be like my daddy. I miss you like crazy. I know that you are watching over me and Nessa. We both miss you and you smile.
