  3. Hello Dad. I had a dream that you were in last night. It was my first dream with you in it. You looked great! Your mobility was great. It was classic humor. You went up to Michelle and asked her if she wanted to go beep beep. then you went over to see Val. Then unfortunately I woke up. I pray for your soul daily and I love you and miss you.

  4. Hi again dad. I have been thinking more and more about you. I wish I could rewind the past 10 years, and not be in such a hurry. I only saw you a few days a year, and then it seemed I was always in a hurry to get back to Hays. I knew, that when I visited you in the hospital, it would be our last time together, and I just did not follow up and hurry back down to see you. I love you.

  5. Hi again dad. Yesterday was the 3 year "anniversary" of your passing. Paulla and the girls all texted mom, and I called to check on her. She is doing well. The family overall is doing well. Peanut is really growing up. We all still miss you. I wish I had been a better son late in your life. I have confessed that, but cannot let it go.

  6. Hi again dad. It is July 31st, 2015. We just got back from moving Michelle into another apartment complex. She was in a quad the past few years, but all 3 of her roommates were moving, so she did not want 3 new roommates... So she moved in with 2 friends that are also in pharmacy. Should be a good fit. You would be proud of Paulla and the girls as you always were. Michelle will be a pharmacist, after 7-8 years of schooling. Val is an award winning teacher in Goodland (duh, knew that was going to happen). Paulla works hard in everything she does, she was a cleaning machine today in Michelle apartment. You would be proud of them, pretty much all a dad could ask for, I am blessed. Love you
