Hi Dad
Today we will lay your ashes to rest in the Veterans Wall. There is a place there with you for Mom when the time comes so you will forever be together.
There are no words to tell you how much I miss you everyday. Some days it's hard to remember your face but I know that the clouds of grief will lift one day and I will see you more clearly. But one thing I always remember is the laughter you shared.
Mom is doing ok and trying to find ways to fill her days. I'm taking her on a road trip, can you believe it!! She is going to come to Edmonton with me for a visit.
Dad, I wish I could hug you and tell you how much I love you. Bye for now.

You held my hand when I was small
You caught me when I fell
You're the hero of my childhood
And my later years as well
And every time I think of you
My heart fills with pride
Though I'll always miss you Dad
I know you are by my side
In laughter and in sorrow
In sunshine and through the rain
I know you are watching over me
Until we meet again.
I love you Dad, and will miss you always xoxo

I have spent this week looking back and remembering all the things that I loved about my Uncle Leo. His laugh, he always seemed to smile..I don't ever remember him sad or mad for that matter.He was a hard worker and always ready to give a hand. Although I haven't seen him since mom was ill a little bit of sunshine has been lost. My condolences and thoughts are with Auntie Clara and Karen.. I am thinking of you with love xoxo
