Pat & Mark Ahern 

Exactly one year anniversary and I am just trying to comprehend how I am the only one of his 4 kids who have posted anything on this memorial site.  I just don't understand.  Also I have not heard anything from my family, so I know my Dad is deeply disappointed in all of them.  

Anyways ya I miss my Dad every day but I know that I am the only one who truly misses him.  

I just really miss my Dad.  

I know he was the only one who truly cared about me and Mya and he will always be in our hearts forever and always.  

My Dad was the most AWESOME MAN EVER!!!    I'm not sure if everyone truly understood how truly great he was.  He was the only person who really cared about me and gave me strength and hope through some really tough times even though his wife told him not to bother.  Yes, he made sure that I knew I was loved and that I was important and I had to keep fighting.  He literally told me that I had to keep trying and keep fighting.  Even though everyone else had given up on me.  He refused to give up on me.  And he was so very proud of my accomplishments on my own and he really tried to be supportive of my breakthrough and rebuilding of my life.  Unfortunately he was the only one.  

I will never forget seeing him laughing and smiling 😁 ☺️ 🐾💞 when he was playing with Mya and he used to call her "horse" because she is so little, lol... I am really glad that I was able to make him proud of me but I also know that he is the only one who really cared.  

I'm really glad that Mya and I were able to spend time with him daily for the short 3 months and I really enjoyed being able to see him smiling and playing with Mya and actually being happy!!!  I know that he looked forward to seeing Mya every day and playing with her!🐾💞😊 I also know that he was proud of me and he understood that I was going through more than I could handle but he understood and he was trying to help me with "getting my bearings" as he would say... Anyone who knew him closely would understand that saying.
