Hi Dad!
Just want to let you know I cannot stop thinking about you! You may be gone, but you will NEVER be forgotten in my heart.
When I looked up and saw the snow last night, I just knew you, Matt, and your fellow Snow Hawks were plowing Heaven's snow!

I want you to know, as I told you often, I was truly blessed when God gave you to me. You were an amazing father, and taught me so many things I will NEVER forget! I know I am the person I am today, because of you! I will always see you in whatever I do, and the all the kids I teach, because I will continue to let your lessons and spirit shine through me.

Thank you for always believing in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.

I will be strong like you asked me and always make sure mom is loved and emotionally taken care of. I will never break that promise to you! She misses you so much!

I am going for pants today, so I will say this now "Thank you daddy!" (wink wink) you know what that means!

I LOVED YOU YESTERDAY, I LOVE YOU TODAY, I WILL LOVE YOU TOMORROW, AND I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

You will always be in my heart.
