My father and my friend.
We will miss you Papa!
Entered into his final rest January 24, 2007
Wally was not my birth father nor my adopted legal father, but he has been my DAD for the past 15 years. He has been the grandfather that my children never had, and I miss him more than I can come up with words for,
He knew that I loved him, I told him often, but I do not believe that he could know how much he meant and still means to me to this day.
The grief that I carry in my heart almost overwhelms me on a daily basis, and there are times when I feel as though I cannot go on without him.
Wally literally saved my life and the lives of my children twice. Once when he came to Texas to bring us home, and the second when he flew us home from Washington State two years ago.
People say that time heals all wounds, but the jagged tears that are in my heart from his passing will require more that this earthly time to heal. I cannot express the pain that I suffer daily in missing him in my life.
I love you Papa, and I miss you everyday.
