This man was MY POOKUMS!

My dad.

The one who showed me how to bait a hook, cook a steak, a flip off people who cant drive, and the uncomfortability of a hot pink speedo. He was the inventor of cowboy up. And in his own way showed me how to do just that.

He left before we could heal "us". But not before he knew how much I love him. That will never be past tense.

I pray he has found peace, healing, and is pain free.

I cant wrap my head around I just won my cancer battle, and he lost his. Because he was the strongest most bullheaded man I know. Maybe that was his gift to me. Life and the strength to fight like hell for it.

I love you dad.

Then, Now and everyday of my life.

Kiss my daughter for me and hold eachother close until I can.

Love,

❄️
