It's been awhile since I wrote to you. But tonight as always it raining and it's hitting me hard. I miss you so much. I miss kneeling at the end of your bed praying with you every night. I miss coming home from school running right to your room to see you sitting in your green chair watching a black and white western movie. I miss talking and how much you motivated me to want to be better today. How much you supported and pushed me. How much you believed in me. I miss you so much popop and I wish I could have one of your solid tight hugs right now. I hope you're up there with Jackie watching over us. You and dalton & her and Chloe. God I miss you guys so much, I love you popop. I didn't forget about you, I never will. I wish you were here to see baby myles. He would have loved you!
