I miss you so much Dad 💗 YOU were one of the greatest men I ever had the privilege to know. I was proud to be your daughter….you were my mentor, my hero, my best friend. You taught me to be a strong fighter a independent woman, how to fix cars, fix houses. To never believe or think I could not do something just because I was a woman. And to make my own way…..I still hear you always saying “Don’t put yourself in a situation where you have to stay/depend on any man!”
I did….I put myself through college I worked hard my entire life work and school for many years so I could take care of myself. However I did depend on you…..you always had the answers and would help me make many hard life decisions……I wish heaven at least had a phone.
You were the GREATEST DAD A GIRL COULD EVER HAVE ASKED GOD FOR ❤️
I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY
I AM THANKFUL THAT YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO FIGHT FOR A BREATH.
I KNOW YOU SACRIFICED YOUR LIFE WORKING IN COAL MOST OF YOUR LIFE
YOU sacrificed your life so your family was provided for. I remember times you worked straight through days….days before you came home….because your love for us was immeasurable!!!!!
I love you more than words can ever express ❤️
