Daddy. My heart is broken and it’s hard to believe you are gone. My mind is flooded with memories since I was a little girl to the present. Although you loved us all the same with all of your heart, you always called me Daddy's princess, I guess since I was your first born. You gave us all nicknames that made us feel special to you. I can remember all the Easter gifts of baby chicks and ducks, and honey goat. I remember all the Christmas mornings lined up on the stairs Dian, Taffy and I in our matching pajamas while you took home movies with that huge bar of lights. I remember riding with you in the old pickup truck as a little girl when you showed me how to shift and let me sit on your lap to steer. You never complained about getting up at 6 am to truck my horse to shows almost every weekend. It gave me so much joy that you and Maryann were so happily married and I gained a step mother, step sister, step brother and even a little brother and nieces and nephews who I all love so much. I will never forget the surprise sleepover when you, Maryann, and Mommy spent the night in my hospital room with me before my heart surgery in Miami while my husband was having his own surgery in Tulsa the same day. We stayed up almost all night telling stories and laughing, mostly because you guys could only take short naps on chairs or the floor! And I don't know what I and my girls would have done without you when my husband, Danny, died. Above all, I will remember that you were always there for me unconditionally no matter what, so kind and thoughtful, making me feel safe and that somehow everything would be ok. I know you are in heaven now still watching over all of us, with my Danny, Dian and Guy, Mommy, Jimmy, and your brothers, sister and parents. My only comfort is that I know someday we will all be together again. Until then, I will love and miss you every day Daddy.
