Hey, dad... I was just thinking of you... Well, I think about you every day, but today I got chills when a fellow sister Marine asked a group of us what our favorite musical is. It's silly, but I couldn't help but think of those days at Sallies, when you would conduct the band in the pit during Guys and Dolls, Hello Dolly and others... I knew all the words to the play, I knew all the songs - I STILL randomly get those songs stuck in my head and I sing to the boys. I really can't believe they will never have the opportunity to meet you, but I know you are looking down on them. Words can't express how much I miss you... I can't believe how much has occurred in the nearly 8 years that you've been gone, but you're far from forgotten. I love you always
