I remember the little red airplane swing outside on the left side of the rickety old country farm house.
You would push me really high when I was little girl after waiting all day with Pepper, the schnauzer.
I remember stealing your kisses to my grandma and telling you she's all mine. I used to be too shy to say I love you, but my smile made you know that I did.
You were everything to me.
You were my dad.
I loved you more than I let you know.
We grew older, you way ahead of me...but we were still so close, always connected by souls. Life has a way to keep young ones so busy...
You got sicker and sicker.
I got used to it.
I just never thought you'd be gone because a part of that child in me believed you were invincible. You were so strong. But..you're human.
I love you, Larry Troy Kester.
I'm too young to lose my dad...
My grand dad...
My dad.
