HI Dad,Ihad a dream about you the other night you didnt say anything you just appeared out if nowhere and we just hugged i couldnt believe it was you.You looked great and i didnt want to let go instead i woke up feeling like you showed yourself to me in a dream.I cant believe it is going to be a year .The memories of that last week with you are so fresh in mind that i go over details and conversations constantly always thinking what if or i should of done things differently would you still be here,or would we have had more time and was there nothing else that could of been done. Everything happened so quickly and there was no time to think about anything because i was still unable to accept that you werent going to make it ,I amk still in complete shock over how everything was changing so fast day by day. First your Coming home leaving hospital everything is fine just need medicine,then staying overnight,then being transferred to fox chase,and then it was hospice at nazareth temporarily, then it was your going home and could be w us for months to years and could continue treatment when were stronger ,and then you werent coming home and I think about those events all the time.I wish you were able to tell me you are in heaven so i know there is a place that i can be with you and mommy and grandmoms and grandpops again.Sometimes just having faith isnt enough.I pray to you and mommy and for you and mommy all the time.Grandmom Sisco told me a long time ago that to get people you love in heaven that you have to pray for their sins so GOD WILL ALLOW THEM INTO HEAVEN by us asking him for forgiveness for them if they were unable to do it before they passed away.I dont know how true it is but i have prayed for everyone in our family that has passed away,just in case Grandmom was telling me the truth.This will be the last entry on this site it is held for 1 year.BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO TALK TO YOU IN MY PRAYERS and love you and always keep you in my thoughts until i see you again.LOVE ALWAYS CHERYL

Hi Dad,missing you like usual.Gabby slept over last night and it ujust makes me sad,cause there are so many things that only you did with Gianna and Gabby is unable to have the same thing.And no one is able to replace them memories.I keep thinking about everything your not here for and pulling up to the house most of the time i sit for a minute and say to myself hes not in there,so i dont get upset.I dont know how Judy does it,I know she misses you the most and this is hardest on her.I want you to know we are all doing our best to help her ,i know how much she meant and means to you and how worried you were about her ,I know you were more worried about her than you were yourself.In the hospital she was your main concern not yourself and that is love.To love someone more than yourself,as she did you.It hurts and it is not fair cause you still wanted to do so much ,you werent suppose to die ,you were suppose to be a great grandpa,and retire in the mountains with Judy.I Love you always cheryl

Debbie'S 30th B-day was yesterday and she asked if any of us knew what time she was born.None of us knew and it was like wow no mom or dad to ask.We are all here for eachother,and you dont have to worry about mimi being alone cause she is all we have too.So we promised to take care of her and that is what everyone is doing.You would be so proud of Gianna,she worries about mimi i swear more than i do .Her biggest concern is she never wants her alone.Gabby is great she makes us all laugh ,i wish she would have been able to do all the things with you that you were able to do with Gianna.You are and will always be her PAPA.Love always cheryl and i am trying to listen to her more.

November 30, 2012

Hi DAD ,Thanksgiving just passed and everything feels like it just happened yesterday ,I try to do things that make me feel closer to you or things that you would do to make it feel like you are still here.But its never gonna be enough ,everyone says with time it gets alittle easier.I dont want it easier i just want you.I LOVE YOU and miss you and it isn't fair that you were not at Gianna's B-Day or first day back to school or vocabulary day.You were always there for everything and made it so special,no one can ever fill your place in our lives.Love always Cheryl
