Dad, I will always remember the adventures we went on though life together. From the first responder calls I was with you for to seeing your first North Dakota buffalo together.
I always thought you were a super hero as a child. Watching to run towards the chaos to help others no matter what that meant for yourself. As I grew up and be came an adult I truly saw how much of a super hero you truly were in everything you did.
I have so many fond memories of our times together. The laughs and tears we shared. All the meteor showers you woke me up for since I was 4. All the random places we wound up because of some history you just had to see in person. It sparked that sense in me and I'm so glad your memories can live on though myself and my siblings to be passed down to all your grandbabies.
I wish you could have met Max. You would have loved him as much as Liam. I'll never forget when I saw you melt holding new born Liam. You are such an amazing person Dad. I will forever miss you and I can't wait to see you again and give you a big hug and tell you how much I love you.
