Happy birthday dad! Visited your cemetery today. You told me this was your favorite song. Louis and I have been working hard at the store. Mom’s been helping out a lot. We really couldn’t do it without her. It’s so tough and I realize just how much you did for us. It wasn’t easy and now I understand what I need to do to succeed and when I start my own family show them what a great father and patriarch you were to the family. I love you dad. I miss you and think of you everyday. I’ll do my best to make you proud and I have a feeling 2017 will be a great year for business. I’ve been trying to expand your business that you start over 30 years ago. Now I see a different vision for what you’ve started while keeping intact what has made your company synonymous with quality and respect. It doesn’t get any easier and I still see you in my dreams. That must mean something, right?
Your Son,
Michael
