Dad, Father's Day is here again, and this year it will be hard, I cannot call you on the phone or send a funny card. This is the first Father's Day that you can't hear me say, I miss you Dad a I hope you have a wonderful Day. The last time I saw you face to face we knew the time was getting near. But the end came so much sooner than any of us wanted to hear. So on this Father's Day I will look up at the sky and say I love you very much and miss you even more and I hope you enjoy Heaven this Father's Day.LoveYour Daughter Dena
