Not a day goes by that I dont think of you. All those times you would yell at me to make me a better person paid off! I'm trying my best here. Even though your Mikey gets under my skin! I wish you were here to see me turn my life around... I love you and miss you as do the kids!

Sorry I haven't written lately. A few weeks ago when I went to visit your stone and ashes it changed everything. It became real. You aren't coming back home. I won't ever see you sitting in the chair in your underware. No more holidays together.it brings tears to my eyes. I know youre watching me from up there. Its killing me not to hear you huffing and puffing, not hearing you bitch about Ben or Simon or uncle Dave Hahah. I just wish it was easier. Oba is doing well, in her new house with all her new furniture. I love you and I miss you dearly. I must stop writing before I can't see anymore. Ill be seeing your ashes soon. For Halloween serenity is being Anna from frozen and Mikey is a blue power ranger I started taking him to a barber like you use to. I hope to see you soon then.

Hi. Happy memorial day. I got mikeys name changed finally! Wednesday last week. It's now Michael david delgado as I told you it would be. Started to cry when the judge asked me why I wanted his middle name to be david. Kids are growing up. Mikey graduates his class this Friday and is going to kraybill in august. Love ya.

Still didn't forget. I'm missing you like crazy right now. You would have loved to see Mikey playing in the snow. He was great. He's fully potty trained now. In April I will have my cna. And in December I will be a LPN. I'm starting to potty train serenity. We all really miss you. All they say is Gigi and it kills me everytime. I look back to November 27 and can't help but think of everything I could have done. I should have called when I knew something was wrong. Instead of crying three to four times. I should have just called. I should have never let them lay you down or move you around. I can't believe it still. I wish you were just on vacation. I'm hoping to see you soon. We are on the way to the zoo. And no I'm not texting and driving. I hope to god you're doing well up there. We will all be up to visit soon. We love you.

I wish i could see you today. I wish I would have called 911 when I first got to obas on November 27th. Maybe you would still be with us if I did. Instead I kept going to the bathroom to cry. Then it all started happening. My mind goes back to that day a lot. I knew you were going to pass that day. I could just tell. But if they would have put oxygen on you right away and I would have called, you would be fine. Maybe you just wanted to give up. At least you got to see mikey for the last time and talk to him. And all I can do is cry. But then I think of all the other times with you. That time you got very mad because my friend was peeing outside at your old house. The guy that used to come to Midtown all the time talked about you everytime he stopped in. You and the pig pen. The time you came to my apartment to hook up my washer. And just getting me this car. I can't thank you enough. This week is the farm show I'll take tons of pictures(if I remember). By the way instead of Harry the ghost, it's now gigi the ghost! Ha! I bet you can't scare me today though. Mikey is almost fully potty trained. And serenity peed on the potty for the first time the other day. Is this you helping them along? It's almost my birthday. What are you getting me? I'll see you soon then.

You're doing a lot tonight. What's going on up there? Is a snow storm coming? Is this because oba is watching the voice in the dining room instead of the living room? We will all see you soon. Thanks for being here lately.

Was that you again?!? I can't help but think all these weird things keep happening! How in the world is mikeys toy truck going to go in reverse without having reverse and without being turned on! Crazy man, what were you trying to do tell him it wasn't bed time yet?!? Just brings tears to my eyes everytime you do something. I know you're still here.

Christmas is just not the same without you. None of your smart comments. I didn't hear you be an a** to anyone today. Hahaha. But I did see you last night you were here to wish the kids a merry christmas. You kept flickering serenitys flash light and you woke her up then she started jupping on mikeys bed with mikey like a trampoline. Gosh you turned them into Devils last night! Hahaha we miss you see you soon. Oba did a good job picking the gifts out this year. But you would have had a fit if you came for dinner. No salad. No jello with carrots. None of that old people junk. Just unhealthy greasy food. ;) hope you enjoyed your day up there. And have a merry christmas. Show me a sign that you're with us tomorrow. Love you.

Hi, we will be visiting you this week sometime. I'll be sure to eat dessert and have a beer for you at our Christmas party. You're still in our hearts. Mikey asks for you just about everyday. See you soon

God, I never thought I would lose you the way I did. You've helped me with so much, I don't even know where to begin. My tears are she'd daily with hurt and happiness. I saw you struggling for months and I know you're in a better place. But it breaks my heart to know you won't be here through mikey serenity and my accomplishments that are soon to take place. You know I was mainly going to lpn school to help take care of you! As I sit here and cry all I can say is we will all be up there with you soon. I feel your presence everywhere. Call me crazy but I heard you move that travel coffee mug that I still have on the table a few days ago, I heard you using the computer in your bedroom on Sunday afternoon. The kids and I will take care of oba and we all love and miss you dearly. There are so many things I wish I could tell you in person and I'm sorry is one of them. (You know what I'm talking about) love you and goodnight. Rip grandpa Dave. I'll be sure to still graduate school, have mikey grow up to be an engineer or try to persuade him to be and have serenity my little cheerleader. I'll see you soon then.

One of the greatest men I have known, funny, compassionate, loving. We have great memories of staying up to the wee hours playing games, and bonfires and ghost stories. You couldn't have been a better father, uncle. You will be greatly missed. We love you Uncle Dave........Debi, Michele, Shannon
