I miss and love you daddy more than you could ever have imagined. No more hearing you call me mitch. No more hands holding mine. No more hugs. I know you haven't picked me up since I was little but I remember the safe secure loving feelings when you did. I thought you could do anything and you could. Coached my soccer team with love but yet pushing me
You only pushed cause you knew I could do it when I didn't think I could. Those were the best. You calmly put up with all my shenanigans and then some as i got older.You never left my side or put me down for my stupid choices. You would just say "now what?" You always listened with no judgement. You came over after mom died and just sat with me while I drank a bottle of jack and sat in self pitty. Never said I was wrong or asked me to stop. You knew enough I had to get through my way. You raised me to make my own decisions but you were always there for the outcome which was usually not good. You stood beside me at uncle joes funeral just after moms. I knew it was hard for you but you were still there for me. Always called you with a question and your response would be the same " huh huh what do you want now?" It was usually about "how would I..." dad you always had answer but you wanted me to figure it out on my own. Eventhough you were there to make sure I didn't mess up to bad. Sometimes the best answers were when youd just nod your head and give me that smile. You know what daddy? I'm gonna miss all the hugs that neither one of us will ever get again. Daddy rest in heaven and enjoy the scenery. Feel free to hug me anytime. I love you daddy
