From the moment you stepped into my life, you were the dad I always needed and the man my mom always wanted. From the very beginning, at age 3, you began to show me not only what a father is, but what a wonderful husband is as well. You taught me how to ride my first bike. You taught me to never be scared of the dark. You taught me to be independent at a young age and allowed me to walk to the bus stop on my own while you and mom hid in the bushes and watched. When you wanted to marry mom, you brought me in the bathroom with such excitement and asked me and Mike if it was okay. You even bought me a ring! I was so scared when we moved to Florida, I remember opening up the door to the uhaul when it was moving and it was then, so early that you began talking me down from the one of many ledges. You made me feel safe always. I thank you for such wonderful childhood memories. To all the vacations you took us on and all the games we would play during them. I will always remember Padiddle and Paduncle because of you. You opened our home to all of our friends and gave them a safe place too when they had nowhere to go or nobody to talk to. You taught me hard work and the value of a dollar at an early age. From pulling weeds in the backyard, to ironing your uniforms, to getting on top of the roof with you to clean out the gutters. When I hit puberty, you bought me a card and my first bottle of perfume and welcomed me to my teens. I can go on and on and on about you. How hard working you were and how you always made sure we never went without. From the way you took care of mom and treated her like a lady always. Life was never boring and always an adventure with you. I wish I had more time with you. I wish we had one last conversation where we wouldn’t say goodbye, but just say see ya later. I love you always, dad. Stay watching over us and don’t ever leave our side ❤️
