The Threads Of Memory


....pictures I was able to gather from friends & family, because I wasn't given the option to keep any of the many family pictures we had....

Scanning over the many pictures I have I am instantly drawn back to a time when I shared my days with my beautiful sons. Trying to express how much I miss them is... impossible...

I think of you every day!

Yesterday I was about to select a playlist on my Ipod and a random picture of Louis came across the screen ... and a smile overcame me!

I wish I could get some news from them or a recent picture, something!

Yuta & Louis, I want you to know that I love you and miss you more than words can describe and that I think of you all the time.

Love,
Dad

Family


I spend a great deal of time thinking about what this very important yet simple word means, family!

I have 2 beautiful boys who I love and think of all the time, the memories I have are unbelievably special and I reflect on them very often. My challenge is that someone has decided that I shouldn't have the opportunity to generate new memories.

I am blessed to have a wonderful family and I realize that many don't have the good fortune that I have.

Family - for those of you in my life that I refer to as family.... Thank you!

Love,
Pat

Fatherhood


I recently lived another father's day and I was reminded of something, that I will have to spend the rest of my life explaining how much I love you both and how important fatherhood has always been to me.

I spend a great deal of time thinking about what you must be thinking.

I love you both more than life and although you may think that my choices may not demonstrate that I am convinced that the day will come when it will be the truth!

Who am I kidding.... Everyday is a painful reminder of everything that I am missing, everyday I remember the time we spent together, literally every moment we shared - explored and re-explored.

I can almost smell you and feel you jumping on me !

Yuta, I always wanted to explain something to you and at this point I would of had the chance to do just that and what I would of told you is that I always loved you and respected your competitive edge because you are just like me.

I hated loosing as a child, hated it and couldn't accept anyone taking the ball away from me, the puck away from me or running faster than me......................... just hated it and cried when it happened ( but it didn't happen often...) just like you I am sure.

Your mother told me that the reason she took interest in me was because I was surprisingly kind to her and when I finally decided to challenge her and stand up to her she said that I had lost my kind face....... but I was just standing up for what my needs and asking her to understand and we (I) are now living with her capacity of understanding others.......

Sorry, I wanted to share my thoughts but more importantly to tell you that I love you. this was my first father's day without a father and I wanted you both to know that you have a father who loves you and misses you every minute of every day.....

Love,
Dad

January 26th 2008


I cut a star down with my knife.

Thinking of all the memories, conversations, feelings,
remembering the realization that I am my father's son.
Wishing, wishing the talks would have been longer !
Thinking, treasuring the legacy of our love.

I cut a star down with my knife.

I love you both so much and hope that I can hear from you soon !

Love,
Dad
