We miss you papa! Not a day will pass by that we don’t think of you. Your stories from your childhood, the lectures that always held meaning but we were too stubborn to realize, all of your dollar store finds that lasted forever, the political arguments that we tried to win, and your strength to carry on throughout everything and love each day like your last! You’re truly the strongest man we’ve ever known and we hope you rest easy! See you again someday papa but until then please watch over us.
Love Cierra and Bub
