I miss you more and more every day dad. What I wouldn’t give just to talk to you one last time. I’ll carry you with me forever. You always could make me laugh even on the worst of days. I love you so much dad. We will miss you like we miss the stars in the morning. 💕
How can I put into words what your continuous words of love and wisdom offered me….. All the hugs over the years. Great conversations…. You made sure I always had a home cooked meal when I would visit. Needed to know about my kiddos and how they were doing. I am still in shock… Too many lost way too young. You are deeply missed Rick. Comfort is found knowing you and your dad will be hunting and fishing together. Love you my friend. Peace go with you. Krissy
