  • Pa, My heart hurts, like nothing i have ever felt before. I miss you so, so much. For the last 34 years, you have truly been my ride or die. I know as time goes on, it will get more familiar. I know it will never get easier. Thank you for always loving us and taking care of us. Now we have to take care of each other. I love you. I will never forget the beach day, lunchbox full of candy, the stories and jokes you told, the quiet moments between us, coffee talks, your smile, your laugh, and especially your generous heart. Your unconditional love shaped me into the person i am today as well as the rotten brat i was a child. Im lucky that i got you as Pa. Love, Your giant ass pain graddaughter Stephi Fields
