Dearest Daddy, As I lingered in your office over the past several days and weeks, I find comfort in the mess you felt was organized. I realized this was the last time I would be doing this task and I miss having you help me endure it. The last time we sorted your office we laughed , we fought, and we talked about every piece of paper ( or so I thought) Looking back it was a great and wonderful experience. Today I realized in all the mess you left our family the greatest of gifts, your love. For as each box was opened and each piece of paper read, I discovered your life and ours in letters and photos and jotted down notes. From your birth announcement, and graduation achievements, I opened a window into your life and ours. I found mementos from each of the children that you felt was important. You left no-one out. As I look toward tomorrow I find the search of your office almost enticing to see what other treasures you have left us. I only wish you were here to tell the story. I miss you more everyday and have truly lost a part of my soul with you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gifts you left behind and for being the greatest man, father, and hero I could ever ask for. and as always I Love You Daddy…and keep it in your pants!!!
