Today has been a hard day. It’s been 1 year, 2 months, and 10 days since God brought you to his kingdom. I miss you so dearly and I wish I could have one last father daughter talk, cause boy I feel like I need you now more then ever. I know your watching over us, and my one aspiration in life is to make you proud. I will live every day like it’s my last and I will always support those browns and Indians for the rest of my life lol. Dominic still remembers you and he will be 4 in January can you believe it? Time flys. I’m so happy I gave him the middle name Joesph it fits him so perfectly, and he points at my necklace every time he sees me and knows your there and you’ll always be his Papa Joe. You will always be my strength. Watch and protect our family like you always have.
Forever in my heart until we meet again
I love you dad forever and always❤️
