I wouldn't hesitate to say that he was my biggest supporter in the vet school journey. I want to celebrate this with him, but when I call my Mom and we talk about it...we just sort of end up recognizing our helplessness.

Anyway, I miss him...some days more painfully than others....and tonight and tomorrow will be one of those hard times I just have to make it through. Please pray for my strength...I don't want my grief to impair my ability to enjoy this exciting time.
oh Kate. my heart hurts for you. I can only imagine the pain you are in.
You're dad is looking down on you with a huge grin on his face b/c he is SO proud of you.
Keep talking to him as tho he is right beside you b/c I know he is.
good luck and much love and prayers on the way for you!
