Dear Dad,
I know its your birthday tomorrow, but it seems that since we lost mom in October that this birthday for you as well as hers will be a little different. hoping you two are talking to the other.
Miss you!

I wish I could tell you how I really feel and how it hurts sometimes when you say the things you do. I only bite my tongue because it's not worth causing a fuss over and you will probably not get where I'm coming from. I realise this is all new to you but you also dont need to rub it in my face.
I loved working w/ you. You were so much fun and never failed to make the entire room bust out laughing at the most random moments. I'm sorry you had to leave us so young, but your smile and the impression you left on everyone who knew you will NEVER leave us.
17 years later and I'm still pissed off at you for being so damn selfish. You had a wife, kids, and friends and family who loved you. Why couldn't you have stayed for us???
