Missing you dad. 😢

Dad I miss the times we had watching hockey togather. From the times that I had you over for dinner and a game. It's really weird that you arent here. I know you are no long in pain. I wonder if you are playing hockey with Jesus or dancing or being a clown for him. Love you and miss you.
