Daddy , I just want you to know that I will always love and miss you but you will never be forgotten ! I will never forget your laugh, your contagious smile , your love for football especially Alabama , and just the little things that make you special and make you , you . I will make sure that Momma is taken care and I also promise to do everything right by you and strive to push for the best as you always told me . This is a hard pill for me to swallow but just thinking about how happy you are in heaven and how at peace you are just lets me find comfort in that and that , in itself, tells me that I and Momma will be okay. Your work here is done and you can finally rest. Don't worry about things down here on Earth. I will take it from here . Sleep well and continue to watch over me. I will see you again someday. Until then Daddy . Love you always, Boot.
