Dad you were such a blessing to me. You will be missed every second of every day. If you see me cry don't feel bad for me. I rejoice for my dad for he is in heaven now. So celebrate with me because this is what he lived for. The bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord. Praise God! I Love you
