Dad 🤍

Hi Dad, A little life update…Kristopher is officially 9 and Liam is 8 now. 2nd & 3rd grade, I can hardly believe it! Soon they’ll be in double digits- life just keeps moving… We just celebrated your 75th birthday. It was the year we were going to do our big family cruise (planning our own trip with the kids!) It sure never gets any easier to sing the birthday song to you when you’re so far away. I think about you often, and talk to the kids about you daily. They are slowly forgetting a lot of memories already, but I try to remind myself they were so little when you left us. Time is flying..The boys are starting busy season. Liam is in ninja class and Kristopher is starting his new season of flag football and soccer. Please keep watching over us and keep the boys and I safe. We love you so very much Dad. 🥹❤️ Miss you more than any words can really say.
