I will always remember the tough love and talks we had. You always guided me in the right direction even when we got lost along the way we always found our way back to each other. You were the only one I could truly trust and confide in. I can’t wait until we meet again dad. I’ll miss you everyday until then. I love you more than words could ever express.
He was my solemate. I just didn’t realize it, until it was gone….Happy Birthday Randy!!!
