Dear Dad,
This has been a hard day for me.....my first Father's Day without you. I think and pray about you all the time and wonder when the pain of losing you will go away. Maybe it never will.

Just when I think I am okay, a memory comes flooding back like the other day when I switched purses. I remember being at the doctor's office with you and you handed me a handful of lemon drops and said to put them in my purse because they were really good. When I found them, I didn't know what to do with them, so they are still in my purse. I don't even like lemon drops, but can't bear to throw them away.

I wish you were here hanging out with us on the couch watching the U.S. Open. That is the way it should be.

I miss and love you Dad....Happy Father's Day.
Your daughter,
Kim
