Well dad you've been gone a week. A week without your touch, a week without your voice, and a week without you crackin jokes. I miss your voice id do anything just to hear your sweet laugh. I will never forget all of our amazing fishing trips, beach trips, or our softball memories, or hearing about all your amazing stories and hearing about all the grief you caused yiayia. I don't know why God took you away from me so early, we should still have years and years to come together and years and years worth of memories to come. A 14 year old should never have to say goodbye to their dad at such an early age. But you were suffering and hurting so I understood you had to go. I'm so happy your in such a better place, your finally cancer free pops. You were one heck of a dad though! Man you sure were something else. You always went out on a limb for your three girls. The only thing we had competition with were your fishing poles. Your were my best friend. Whose suppose to take me fishing, kayaking, and snorkeling, and whose gonna laugh when I trip and fall over my own feet and call me a cluts before asking me if I'm okay. I feel emptiness inside me and nothing will be able to fill that. I lost my father, my idol, the love of my life, the guy who taught me everything. Most of all I'm gonna miss you texting me "goodnight I love my little bitches". I'll miss waiting until 2pm when you got off work for you to pick me up with the kayaks and fishing poles. I won't forget our most recent snorkeling trip when you told me "you girls are the most important things in my life". You were so scared to leave your girls behind but this only makes us wanna achieve more your passing only makes me wanna make you more proud. I remember you were laying there hours before you passed and I told you "I love you so much" and you being a smart ass like always and you said "why so much", Well I have the answer, because you were so great words can't explain how much I looked up to you, I'd always make sure you were looking every time I made a good cast, or every time I unloaded one of the kayaks by myself. I always looked for a way to make you smile or to feel proud, to make you say "yeah that's my little ooshy". I loved hearing those words. Well pops your really gone, I don't get to receive txt messages from you anymore, call you anymore, or give you big bear hugs and tell you how adorable you are. You are my best friend and I still feel it's not real I don't believe your gone. We were so close and I will always miss you not a moment goes by I don't think of your smile. I'm happy I was there holding your hand until the last minute. Your girls love you and miss so much it hurts. Rest in peace Jason Apollo Hyde.
