Now that the dust has settled and I'm addressing thank-you notes to friends and family, I find that the one person I really want to thank, is you. You took me into your family and made me a part of it. You were always there when we needed you. You were such a huge part of our lives and your departure has left many broken hearts, including mine. I am so grateful that I had a chance to hear you refer to me as one of your favorite girls and I will hold that close to my heart. I will miss your corny (and not always p.c.) jokes, the way you could put any competitive eater to shame at a holiday dinner, your goofy Vulcan finger trick, our shared interest in hummingbirds and goldfinches, or “wild canaries” as you liked to call them, your wholehearted love of June, your family, and the friends you treated like family, and so much more. I wish I could be as brave as you; always trying new things, taking on new ventures. I wish I could hear your stories that I heard 100 times another 100 times. I miss you. I’m thankful for the time I spent with June while you were in the hospital and here at our house after you passed. She’s an amazing woman and I learned much about love and strength and life. I hope and pray that when the day comes for Bill and I, that we are still as in-love and still best friends, as you and June were. I hope and pray that you are at rest. That you are happy. That we make you proud. We will carry on. We will heal. But we will always and forever love you and miss you. Rest in peace Dad. I love you, Sheila
