It's a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining and there is a nice breeze... and Terina is trying to escape to the playground.
As I made breakfast this morning for Kasala I couldn't help but wonder if anyone was making breakfast for you. I wish I could be there, or I wish you were here with us today.
I just wanted you to know Dad that I love you very much. There are still times when I feel like I have disappointed you. I know you have always wanted more from me and I feel as if I didn't give that to you. I'm really sorry Dad. I'm sorry if I've embarrassed you or disappointed you. I've always tried to do my best so that you would be proud of me. I still try to do things that would make you proud to say that I'm your daughter.
I remember some really wonderful times growing up. Helping you outside, visiting you at work, staying up late while all the boys had to go to bed and going to different places with you. I loved spending time with you and I loved that most all of the time it was just me and you. I remember how as I grew older things didn't really change. I remember you dropping me off at WSU and I remember coming home almost every weekend because I didn't like to be away. I remember you getting angry when I got into BYU Hawaii but you still brought me out here, helped me get settled and then you left me 2,500 miles away from home. I remember you coming to pick me up from Hawaii and bringing me home... not one of the best weeks of my life... probably one of the worse... but none the less... here I am, alive. I thought for sure you were going to kill us that week.
Anyways, thank you Dad for all that you have done and for all that you continue to do for me. You have been a wonderful example to me and a great friend. You are the best father that I could have ever asked for and the bestest grandpa that any of your granddaughters could ask for. 
We love you very much and we miss you like crazy. Terina and I can't wait to see you next month. Happy Fathers Day dad. I love you.
