This is my dad. We still have to pass by green oaks everytime we drive somewhere… And remember what this horrible lady did. He won’t be able to see my first car.. Or walk me down the isle of my wedding. We miss him so much and have to spend this 4th of July without him once again. I love you dad so much… I hope you remember me because I was only 4 when it happened.
