Hey papa I miss you so much right now more then ever. Even though you weren’t my real one you still was in my heart. I love you so much it’s hard to put it in words. I’ve been wanting to come and see you after Landon was born but things here was out of Wack. But you were always good to me and there for me when I needed you to be. I remember when you would go and pick up Kayla, Jamie, Jesse and me to go to sonic for an ice cream every Sunday 🙂 those memories will never fade away as long as I live. I love you papa from the moon and back. I will see you one day in the golden gates of heaven.
