    this is the hardest thing i’ve ever had to do was see my best friend die in front of me. i still dont know what to do without you dad, everyone sometimes asks me how you were like and i tell them to just look at me, because i’m the female, younger version of you…and that’s hard for me to accept that. I miss you a lot…i hope that you and mom are proud of me…for all the stuff i’ve gone through, fought through, and pushed forward with, because honestly i dont think im doing any good at all. I break down, i cry, i think about that night too much, it replays over and over in my head everynight of how you died. Hearing moms screams and cries, running in seeing you take your last breath….just after seeing you smile the day before on your birthday, not knowing that you’d be gone shortly after…i remember the nurse coming and confirming your death and saying it wasn’t just a weird coma, that you got taken from me. Mom tried to hold her breath…so did i. I tried to end my life to. I wasnt ready for you to leave. I wasnt ready for mom to go either. You both got taken from me and i hate it. I wish it was me. I still wish it was me. I lost my bestfriends. Nobody is going to make me okay with this, ever. I need you guys back. If i could, i’d trade you spots with myself, cause’ sometimes i do try to come home with you guys. I recently tried. But i failed because you taught me better and raised me stronger than i think i am…still till this day i dont know how truly strong i am. I probably never will know either and thats okay, because one day, the person you raised will come. Maybe then i can love myself like you and mom love me. I still listen to “on eagles wings” the song i picked out at your funeral, i still dont know why i picked this song but it fits you because i’m a very proud air force daughter. I love you dad. I’ll message you whenever.

    I send deep condolences to the family in your loss of the family patriarch. Gene was a wonderful and patient father who took pride in all his children. His generosity to the Parrish community will be sorely missed!
