Dear Dad

Happy 60th Birthday.

Last night, I had the craziest vision of you while driving home. You were feeding our kid corn on the cob, at the dinner table at your house. Baby Engels wasn't ready for it, but he was loving every second of it! And you were smiling and laughing at his reactions, making facing to get more reactions, giving him more butter...

I really, truly wish, from the bottom of my heart, that would be a true memory I would have some day.

But unfortunately, it can only be a vision. However good it may be that I can still remember you that clearly, it will still, only be a vision.

P.S. Please watch out for CB as she grieves through her mom's disease. Give her the strength you gave me, and I know she'll make it out. And CB, if you're reading this, no worries. Pa Dudding will help you out when you need it. Just ask. :)
