His smile Soft spoken nature Never ending Love dry sense of humor the respect I had for him crazy love for his grandchildren disciplined to run EVERY single day {rain or shine} his love of good wine and hot coffee knowing he was only a phone call away he never meet aubrey and cody his strength that he really 'got' me pride in his family his determination being daddy's little girl {even when I was a grown up} that look he gave me when I was in trouble - no words were needed having his unconditional approval his {sometimes} embarrassing HATE of smoking - although I have inherited that from him big hugs his void at Christmas time ....and his beautiful love he had for me!I know in my heart of hearts he is in a heavenly place with our Savior but selfishly it still hurts that he was taken out of my life. I know when God calls me home he will be there waiting for me with open arms. I said good-bye to him 10 years ago today and he will never know how much he is missed......

Hey Crissy,
I too have experienced the pain of losing my dad (two years ago). So much of what you wrote are things I have thought or said a million times! My dad and I were extremely close, so I share in your sadness! And, our dads sound eerily similar! Especially regarding cigarette smoke! :) Thank you for sharing your thoughts and love for your dad with all of us! I wii be praying for peace and comfort for you today and throughout the holidays!

Oh Crissy I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was and is surely very proud of who you are!
