When I think of you...

Dad,

When I think of you I'll always remember watching cartoons with you on saturday mornings.

When I think you I'll always remember you tickling me until I couldn't breathe.

When I think of  you I'll always remember the way that you taught me to give all I had even if all I had was love.

When I think of you I'll always remember your tattoos and how if you hadn't had them then you wouldn't have been you.

When I think of you I'll always remember the fishing trips and late night hikes on the camping trips...

When I think of you I'll always remember your hunting and fishing shows and your silly gun and knife magazines...

When I think of you I'll always remember feeding calves with you and catching bugs...

When I think of you I'll always remember the smell of your cigarettes...

When I think of you I'll always remember watching scary movies and pretending I liked them even when I didn't.

When I think of you I'll always remember you asking me if I was falling asleep on the couch and telling you no just because I wanted a little more time and the weekends went to quickly...

When I think of you I'll always remember you calling with useless information...

When I think of you I'll always remember how much you loved music and how I pretended to as well...

When I think of you I'll always remember that you loved to draw...

When I think of you I'll think of

But most of all...

When I think of you I'll always remember how much you believed in me...how you said I could be anything I wanted to be...

When I think of you I'll remember how you were always there to catch me if I happened to fall.

When I think of you I'll always remember how much you loved me...

When I think of you I'll always remember that you are watching over me...

When I think of you I'll always remember that no matter where you are... You'll always be my daddy...

Love,
   Little Bear
