My dad was probably the msot understanding individual I have ever met. he made me strong; both my mom and my dad did. It's been a year and three days since his passing and yet it feels like it was just yesterday. i don't know how i made it through boot camp and mct and school and now i'm in japan. i know my dad is watching over me. i think about him everyday. something always reminds me of him, whether it be a song or the way someone says something or a movie, anything. my dad is always with me and i will never let him go. i love you dad.
