Happy Birthday Dad. I'll bet this is your best birthday in a long, long time. Celebrating with your parents, Mom, Laura, Peggy and all of your friends. Sad to say, it is the worst one for me. I miss you so much, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. So many times I have said to myself I have to tell Dad, and then I remember I can't. It's really hard for me, I just miss you, probably more than I have a right to. I know that you are at peace and that you are not alone, but I just have this awful void that I just can't shake. I look around and everyone seems to have moved on with their lives, but I feel like I am stuck. I guess it will just take more time, maybe I depended on you too much. Well, this was supposed to be a happy birthday note, but some how I got off on a tangent about me. So, I wish you a wonderful birthday, and I hope you watch over me always. I love you so much.
