Dad,

It’s been 7yrs since your passing. The two main images memories I always have when I think about you are from when I was in high school playing softball. You always came to my games and we always went out for dinner afterwards. Just the two of us no matter how badly we lost you talked about how I played like I won the world series to whoever would listen. The other memory is the night of your passing. We were able to talk to each other that night which made the news of you having passed just few moments after I left your bedside seem unreal. I felt bad that I left yet comfort because I simply asked you if you knew how much I loved you and you said yes. You held my hand and then asked if I knew how much you loved me. All I could do to hold back the tears was smile and say I could never doubt it cuz it always shows in your eyes like when you would come to my games and how we would talk about them over dinner. You said you were scared cuz you were going alone. I said you will never be alone physically or spiritually.. we all love you so much that nothing not time, space or death can break that bond we have for you. I still think about you, mom and my Omaha everyday.. I miss you all so much and my love is so deep that it still hurts. So I hold onto our dinners after games and oiling our baseball gloves and having been able to say a proper goodbye. I live you greatly more than ever and it will simply continue to grow.
