It was one year ago today, that was the worst year of my life, the day my Dad passed. I was stuck on the Corey Causeway Bridge, when my sister called and told me the news, one day before I was going to North Carolina to see him and my family. My Dad was an incredible man, I never knew anybody I looked up to more than him, for me it wasnt Michael Jordan, or some football player, it was my Dad. My Father worked hard, did whatever it took to keep his family happy, and was the most generous and kind man I have ever known who loved his family very much. He never gave up on me, and those of you who know me realize what a huge task that must have been for him. My mom, he loved so much and I hope someday I can have a relationship that flourished as much as my Dad and Moms did. In a world that is so incredibly difficult to survive in, with my parents I truly saw the magic in there love everyday for that 46 years. They say out of everything bad that happens, something good happens as well, which was very hard to swallow at first. Even though my Dad is gone physically, he is here in spirit, and forever in our hearts. This also brought me even closer to my Mom, the most incredible woman on the planet, and I am not only happy, but I feel privileged and honored that she is such an important part of my life. My Dad and Mom have always supported me, and encouraged me in whatever my endeavors, however crazy they were, and thats what great parents, as well as great family do. Today I want everybody to tell their loved ones how much you care about them, because you never know how long you will have to tell them that you care. Hug them, kiss them, or just call them and tell them your thinking of them, because you never know when it may be your last opportunity. I would like sometime today for all my friends that knew him, to raise a toast, not just to my Father, but all Fathers, and your families, and make time to cherish, and savor those moments, because you never know how many chances you will have to do that, I will never ever forget him. Happy Holidays everyone. Love you all, Toby Smith
