9 May 2001 Dad I never knew you and have felt an emptiness all my life. But in a way I never lost you because I feel your presence with me every day. I had my own war when I was 21 and Mom almost lost her mind. I was selfish and angry but we all made it through. You were with me through that and I feel even closer to you now. I am getting my Masters now, Dad, and am engaged to a beautiful woman who I know you would adore, Mom does. I miss you Dad.
