Hey Dad – This is the second Christmas without you on planet earth. I’m not sure why this such a hard day for me because if truth be told you really hated Christmas.

You were never really the dad that got excited about decorations or presents, the music or any other Christmas type stuff – and you certainly wouldn’t be caught dead going to a church service. You went through the motions for mom and the rest of the family. But for a myriad of reasons of your own you never really loved it and I get it.

So why is it bugging me so much that you’re not here to celebrate something you didn’t really like?

I just miss you I guess.

Merry Christmas Dad. Merry Christmas.
