COOK, Thomas

Hey Dad, “Cooker” it is hard to believe you have been gone a year. It feels like yesterday when you said, “Merry Christmas, I love you and I will see you later”, yet it feels like a lifetime since I heard your laugh. It has been a difficult year but also one of celebrations. During the most difficult of times, I found myself asking what advice would you have given me, and at the exciting times, I would find myself wanting to tell you what was going on and share the news.
What a parallel process Dad, learning to celebrate Christmas without you and reflecting on the Anniversary of your death.
Merry Christmas in Heaven Dad, we love and miss you greatly.
Lee Ann, Joe, Denver, Alex, Josh and Sandra.
