Dad,
I miss you so much. I feel like my time with you was far to short.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have had the same few memories in my head. Riding through downtown Muskegon Heights in your car, a purple miss piggy watch, sitting at grandma Phyllis's house somewhere off of Sherman, and falling asleep on the way out to grandma Audrey's, you carried me in and laid me down, then you told me "No matter what happens, I will always love you".
I had never forgotten those words, I knew they existed, I knew you existed. I also knew someday I would find you again. As I grew older, I learned the truth from people I trusted, who really thought you were a great guy. As a mother, I couldn't imagine the pain of having to let my child go. I love you and I as I grew up, and people asked me who my parent were, I made sure they knew that I was a Maycroft. Hope your
horizon is full of beautiful lakes full of amazing creatures. Surround yourself in all the beauty that the rest of us cannot see. Until we meet again, I will keep you alive with memories and I will make sure Ivy knows all about you. She really thought you pretty dang cool! Love your daughter, Andrea##imported-begin##Andrea Rosema##imported-end##
