And just like that p**f 5 years has passed since you left us. I think about you every day, the conversations we never had, the input I'll never get about life decisions, the things I probably fully never learned from you.
Everytime I grab a saw, welder, hammer or anything else you showed me. I think of you and those things you taught me. Even though you admitted I was better at some things then you. Not everyone can do multiple things and be good at them all. You were and now I am. Something I'm trying to pass on as I get older too.
35 years with you was not enough. You did everything to support me thru the years I feel like I couldn't repay that I was only given months.
You supported my racing habit as much as possible. From the first car I got at 15 to the last one I had at 24. From towing the car to letting me use the garage and trying to do mechanical things which you knew nothing about. I really tried to get a car for this year to go racing to honor you this weekend. But i got a car for next year so I'm going to race for you all next season. But you need to keep me safe and watch over me like you always did.
I miss you so much. Love you dad.
