Dear Dad...

I wonder what it's like where you are now. It must be close by because you still visit me. Last time you stopped by, you were youthful and carefree and happy. After we parted ways, I thought about you all that day and it comforted me. Now when I think of you, I only recall all of the positive memories and I cherish the traits you passed along to me, the learnings and the values. 

Last night before I slept, I had hoped you would visit me at 415 am, the same time I held your hand and said a last goodbye to your ears as you passed out of this human state, four years ago on May 27, 2010. I shall await a more spontaneous visit soon!
