Dear Lloyd,
On this day, a day when we honor what men can
be, what they should be, and what many are but, sadly, many are not, I
want to wish you a Happy Father's Day and to thank you for the gift of
our children. Were you perfect? Thankfully, no. But you were a good
father in many, many ways. The children may not have had everything
that they wanted or even needed at times, but they had what they needed
most: love from a father that would have gladly laid down his life for
them if necessary. A father that loved their mother. A father that did
the best he could with what he had and where he came from. So many
things they learned from you, some of which they don't even realize. I
see you in them time and time again, a certain smile, an action, a joke.
Rest well, love. Happy Father's Day. And thank you. On this day, you are truly missed. All my love, Melissa
