Dad i love you and i am privileged to be called your son. Dad you left your foot prints down and they will be recognized for a very long time. I admire you and can only wish i could be half the man you are.
I hear you talking to me alot the things you say are clear like you are right in my ear, it scared the crap out of me the first time, now i embrace your presence. I know your taking good care of mom up there. She missed you so deeply when you left us, i miss you both alot but i know you are both happy now together, and that makes me feel good.
I miss you and love you dad.

Its been more than Few years now since u been gone. I just cant count them ..it hurts. Dad i dont understand why i am still here breathing. Moms gone. Genes gone. Jimmy is gone. Becky is gone. Its just me now. My best friends who were true have gone. I cant replace them iether. Emerson left after his wife lori did and Danny found his way up there too. Brook has gone up. Im just left alone down here dad and i dont know why. I married kim again its been 2yrs now (7-7-17)supposed to be the lords day.but even when im with her or around anyone i feel alone still. Like im not heard or acknowledged. I found out today that stefanie passed over. I wondered why she didnt keep her promise. On the day i got out she was supposed to contact me on fb. That day came and went. I tried to contact her but i couldn't find her.she hsd just vanished in those 18mo. So eventually i gave up the wait. We were going to follow thrue with the wedding. I love her very much. She was so kind and just so amazing.a true angel. Her son A J is still on my mind alot.she was planning to care for him forever. She was a great mom. Aj was the luckiest mentally handicapped person there is. I love him alot. Dad i want to join everyone. I hurt deeply. And often times dont know how to release my feelings. Im not scared to be with all of you. Im more afraid of being down here
With my thoughts and feelings. I dont know if i can keep this up. I had a heart attack 2 days ago
Didnt hurt as bad as i imagined. But i definately knew . Dad...when ever your ready to come get me. Is good for me im ready to be with and have a family again.i miss you. And mom. And everybody else too. Ill be down here waiting for u and mom. So dont forget about dad. . give my love to everyone for me.
Love always ..
Thee last son.
Buck
