Happy 64th birthday dad.
In 4 hours we will be hitting the road to pick up mom because she is in El Paso. I wish you were going with us. I miss you, and I hope you miss us too. I hope in heaven they celebrate your birthday.

Dear Dad,
Happy Fathers day. We made chicken and carne asada on the grill we got you on your last fathers day here on earth with us. I love you and I hope your day was magical. I am thankful I didn’t cry.
I wish you were still here with us dad, but God only knows why he does the things he does.
With all my love,
-Stephanie

Dear Dad,
Its been a while since I have wrote and I am sorry. Its not like it matters anyways, I bet in heaven, or wherever you are, you are busy with the family you hadn’t seen in years. Maybe you guys are still celebrating the fact that Aunt Effie Mae finally joined the party.
I don’t know dad, sometimes it gets hard knowing you aren’t here. Knowing you are somewhere else living your...

Its been a year old man
a whole year since I last saw you, and even then it really doesn’t count because you were in your rented casket, just there like a prop in a bad play.

Happy Fathers Day Dad
We don’t have no love in’s in el paso We don’t go to porno picture shows We don’t swap our wives with our neighbors And we keep our kids away from mexico. And I’m proud to be an asshole from el paso A place where sweet young virgins are deflowered. You walk down the street knee-deep in tacos Ta-ta-ta-tacos And the wetbacks still get twenty cents an hour. We...

Dear Dad,
I’ve avoided writing for a while now and its been killing me but I just can’t seem to get my thoughts in order. I guess I’ll start from the beginning.
I’m 20 now dad, my birthday was 2 weeks ago. I am old and its showing. I remember you used to tell me that. It was hard not seeing you on my birthday. It was hard acting like I was ok with you being gone, acting like it was...
Dear Dad,
Tomorrow everyone leaves to go camping. I can’t go since I am working at DSC. It is so weird dad that they are getting everything ready. You used to be the one to do it all. By now, the cars would pretty much be loaded up with the tents and sleeping bags. All that would have to go in tomorrow is the ice chests and luggage. And then we would be hearing you bitch all day today and tomorrow...

Dear Dad,
The divorce papers are being filed for Jr and Lily. He needs you dad, he needs to talk to someone. He may be and asshole who doesn’t listen, but he needs you.
Help him? wherever you are, help him please?
He needs you right now more than I do.
Dear Dad,
In a month I will be 20 years old. I wish you could be here to celebrate it. I’m getting sad again.
Dear Dad,
One of your old friends came to ask for you, see if you could work on his car. He is still downstairs apparently.

Dear Dad,
DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so, For, those, whom thou think’st, thou dost overthrow, Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee, Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee doe goe, Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie. ...

Dear Dad,
I have my first day of training today at the Discovery Science Center. You know, that science museum near the 5 freeway? by Mainplace? I got hired on Wednesday. I know you would be happy :)
I’m thinking about you more than usual dad. A year ago today is when we found out that surgery on your pancreas wouldn’t happen because not all the cancer was removed from your lung.
Every time I...
Dear Dad,
4 months today. Where are you? How are you? In the afterlife, is your spirit like your old self, or your sick self?
Do you miss me as much as I miss you? Do you miss everyone as much as everyone misses you?
Dear Dad,
We are looking at real estate in El Paso, Socorro, Ysleta, Horizon and Horizon City. Is this what you really wanted? For us to leave this and go there? start new, start over? I’d rather live this way than leave this house. I love Texas, I do…but I love your house more.
Dear Dad,
I’m making Amish bread right now, and will probably bake a chocolate cake. We might have meat loaf for dinner, everything you like. I wish you were here to eat dinner with us once again. It seems the last time we sat down to dinner together was in september.
/sigh.

Dear Dad,
When I got home today, they were moving that shelf in the back, the one that had the tightener thing attached to it. You told me what it was called so many times, sorry I forgot. They took out the shelf in the garage, the one you built. I was upset, they didn’t have to, but knowing you, you would say “It is whats best to make room”
I guess I am kind of upset that they wont leave...
