He say all I do is work, and try to take care of my family abd he told ne by the way I got married abd bought a house, I said congratulations.. He said thank you, I'm doing what momma would wabt ne to do.. And had the biggest smile on his face.

You were the best dad to me. I stayed glued to you when you were home because i didn't want to you leave me. I am and will always be a daddy's girl and that will never change. This feels like a dream I can't wake up from. Jakob misses and loves you too daddy. You were the best pawpaw Jakob could ever have. God we miss you daddy
