A tribute to the most amazing man in the world~ My Dad
I apologize for being absent from my blog. I've been having some strange mental issues that my doctors and I have been trying to resolve. Then on Sept. 20th my father unexpectedly left this world.
Here is his obituary, a tribute to the most wonderful, loving, exceptional man that I had the pleasure of calling Dad.
He was so passionate about life and family. He was not only my Daddy, he was my confidant and my best friend. He never stopped me from making mistakes. I needed to learn that lesson. He was always there to help me pick up the pieces, no Nugent, no lecture, just a hug and some good advice. He left is too soon. He will be missed by so many.
Always and forever a part of my heart.
