Dad, this all seems like a bad dream and at any moment I am going to wake up and you will be here. I miss you beyond words and my heart is completely broken. You were the best dad and I looked up to you in so many ways. I wish we had more time, I'm not ready for you to be gone. I love you so so much and miss you so much.
