My Father's Day Card

Dear Dad, 

On this day, I wish I could give you a gift. But leaving a legacy is the greatest gift a father could give. I hate that you left, but I'm so thankful for your legacy. I'm honored that I can proudly think of you, remember you, speak of you with my head held high in amazement of the perseverance of your strength and your faith. I wish I could have kept you forever, but I'm thankful I had a father whom I loved and trusted with my whole heart. I knew you, and you knew me. I more than loved you. I adored you. You were my superhero, my warrior, my champion, and my best friend. I pray God hosts a huge BBQ for you today with steak on the raw side and a big corn on the cob, and I'm sure you can beat everyone else in eating it faster! And maybe there are oceans in heaven and you can body surf today too. Perhaps conclude the day with some deep discussion, a backgammon or chess match, and munch on some snickerdoodle cookies or vanilla wafers or fig newtons, which I never ate because you said they were mashed up bugs! :) Maybe Father's Day is even better than I can imagine in heaven. But at least it better be as good as I can imagine down here. I love you, and miss you Dad. 

Happy Father's Day. 

Love,

T
