it’s been awhile since you have been gone but i still feel your presence as i go along and when i seem anxious about the best way to proceed i think of you fondly and ask you to lead……one a natural father and the other an adopted father……when i needed you, you were always there and continue to be…………in spirit……….

my Dad, J.B. got me to adulthood, if in age only and you Ben helped me sort out the mess i made along the way…………….both of you had hard jobs and i appreciate what you did and didn’t do for me……..

those bonds will never be broken through time nor distance…….we will always be connected………..Dad, see you on the beach………Ben, i’m going to a meeting…….

you never left
