My mom sat us down and gave us the worse
news possible. Dad died today. It took
moments to comprehend it was so
unbelievable.
It was no secret my dad suffered for years
with a painful medical condition, drugs,
alcohol and depression. Well it all caught up
and he couldn’t deal with it any longer. I can’t
imagine the suffering he was going through to make that decision. I know he’s at peace now, all the pain is gone for him. As much as it hurts, my heart is broken and I miss him so much it
helps to know he’s not suffering anymore.
My dad was the best he loved us girls to the
moon and back. We would always want to play video games with him because he literally
taught us girls how to play that’s what turned us into tomboys. The best video game I played with dad was “gears of war” most definitely,
me and him finished all 5 of them together just sitting on that couch in the living room for
hours till mom told me to go to bed. I
remember the time when we would order
Panda Machi and spend like 200$ just for 1
night and we would eat together, laugh
together and just enjoy our 200$ dinner lol.
We were always doing something even if it
was the little things like fixing the quads in the garage we would spend hours in there just
tinkering and he taught us how to ride and if
we got hurt we would get back on and keep
going. Just like how I got hurt on the 50 and
when that wheel was spinning on my leg all I
see is my dad come running out of the trailer
and throwing that bike 50 feet away from me and he carried me to the trailer and fixed me
up, he was my hero. Even watching his favorite movie Star Wars, he was obsessed with it he
bought so much Star Wars toys, well I
shouldn't call them toys but i don’t know
exactly what they were but he loved them and all the little action figures. I remember when
we had the Harley and the red hotRod we
would go on little rides brooke would be driving the HotRod because I didn’t know how to drive stick, and Ellie would be on the back of the Harley with dad that was really fun. I could go on and on about our dad because he was the fucking best, and I know he loved us so much, I know he was hurting and he was in pain and now he is in a better place but that pain got passed down to his family.
We Love you dad and miss you so fucking much.
