Well folks im not to sure how many of you all out there now that june 22 was a day that some one special was taken away from us. My dad better known as ed to many many people lost his battle to cancer.He was diagnosed with cancer for awhile but he stil managed to have fun and enjoy lifefor the most part. I cant say how much pain and suffering he went through cause i wasnt dealing with what he had. But i can bet it wasnt much fun for him to have to go through all that. Even the last night that he was here with us he found the strength he needed to joke around and have fun like he was well known for.He was a great dad here helping out in any way shape or form that he could to help out people who asked for his help. There was close to 35 people in our neighbourhood that called him dad so that should say for its self how muhc that people liked him. He liked to take us hunting or fishing or just to sit and have abeer with people. I know that he is sitting there and seeing whats going on down here with everyone. I now that he is missed alot by alot of people for the things that he did to help them.The one thing that pisses me off about all this is why him? Why should it be the good people that are taken from us? I now that the lord works in mysterious ways and we cant do anything about what he does.I guess we just have to accept what happens even though we all arent happy with what happens. Dad wasnt on this earth to hurt he was here to help and then he was taken away from us by that disease called cancer. My g/f who name is melissa knows what i am saying here as well. Her mom was also taken from all her loved ones by cancer as well. She as well as dad helped who she could and once again was taken away.Melissa and i both know the pain and suffering that one go through when losing a loved one. Both melissa and i have tattoos on our bodies that show our loved and respect to our parents that were taken from us. We both know that they can seee what we did and we now that are happy with that. Dad(ED) and Joyce i can tell u right now that you both are really missed by the ones that love you and always will be. I have to sign off now but this is one post that i had to write. Bye for now. Take care everyone that reads this.

Hey buddy… sorry I didn’t read this sooner. You know, we always talk about being too busy for this or that, but we really have to find time or before we know it, people just disappear out from under us. I don’t know how you feel yet, but I will, and I can imagine that it must hurt something terrible. I’m thinking about you and your girl, and your losses, but also everyone elses’ losses. I didn’t know Melissa’s mom, but I can say that I sure miss Ed too. He was a good man, and I know damn well he’s proud of you and watching you now.
My Mom would probably say that there are some people that God just wants to have with him sooner rather than later, and I think that this has to apply to Ed… and likely, Joyce as well. She would also probably say that they’re not gone, just on the second leg of a long journey. And they’ll be there waiting for you when it’s your turn.
Peace, brother - David.
