"You were my rock,
Provider and best friend.
Never in a million years
would I have thought it could ever end.

We didn't get to say goodbye
It hurts and it's not fair.
It's hard to look around the corner
and see that you're not there.

You were the most amazing Dad.
The best a little boy could ever have.
You taught him the ways of the Force.
I love how he inherited your laugh!!

I see the best parts of you in him
and for him, I will be strong.
I can't wait for the day we're in your arms again
because that's where we belong.

I can't imagine how wonderful it is
in the house God has prepared for you.
I wish you were still here with me
I hate you had to leave us so soon.

I hope God gives you a window-
a little peek from up above
Just so you can watch Ethan grow
and so he can feel your love".

I love you so much, baby. You were my best friend. I'm so proud of who you were, what you stood for, and for being the incredible father you were to Ethan. He only had you less than 5 years but you showed him enough love to fill a billion lifetimes. You, my love, were truly "One in a Dillion." :-)
