August 20, 2021 at 9:18 amDad ts been over 45 days and I can’t even bring myself to except that ur not here anymore I still call u on the phone hoping u will pick up I just want to hear your voice. And it tears me apart that I can’t hear u say u love us and u will see us soon. I can’t do this without u dad I’m falling apart really bad. I’m trying so hard to be strong and I can’t do it. I need u so bad. Why did u leave us why? Nothing makes any sense . The only thing I’m holding onto is that u will be who greets me when I get to heaven is it pretty there? Mayci still asks when ur coming back we had to tell her that God wanted u to go on vacation cuz she wasn’t accepting that u had passed away bless her heart she said but he’s my best friend what do I do now?
