How exactly do we begin these things . I'm sorry to Landyn and , your mother . He was a wonderful friend . I'm sorry if this is short but, I feel him pushing me not to give up on at least writing something . Landyn, your father was a wonderful person . We all in life have our faults and short comings ...but, who are we to judge at any point in time. Only God can do that. He spoke so highly of you. I saw him a week before all of this ..
