Ross, I can’t even explain how this hit me. It’s only been 17 months for me and his birthday was Monday! I always said if I could be half as good a parent as my dad was then I’ll be a success. We were so lucky weren’t we? ❤️🙏🏻

That ☝ is beautiful!
April 23, for me. The day I lost my best friend.

I’d never driven more than 2 hours or so out of Schenectady. A 14-16 hour drive to the coast of NC was exciting. He knew the drive because he had been stationed at Camp Lejeune.

My day to hate is April 25. It has only been four years for me but I understand how you can still feel the same after 12 years. My thoughts go out to you & your family.

Sounds like quite the awesome guy, and it shows in you. you're very lucky, sorry for your loss. My grandpa was a similar kind of man, it's always hard when the great ones go.
