Peter Vlismas, the best father and husband anyone could ask for. My dad has always been there for me to support me, to help me, and to love me. He also loved his family so much.
Growing up he always went out of his way for me. Played baseball, wiffleball and football with me. My mother was always at peace when they were together because my father was a very cool and likeable man. My father was always a doer. He was someone to do whatever he wants, took no crap from anyone.
It broke my heart to see his health deteriate. All I could remember were the good times joking around with him. I stood by his side and my mothers side through the last few months. I offered body parts (kidney) if it would make him better. He did not deserve to go out the way he did. But atleast I got to spend time with him. Atleast I got to tell and show him that I love him. Now, he is in a better place.
Dad, we miss you terribly. I have been avoiding thinking about you because I cannot believe that you are gone. I went to visit your grave the other day with mom. I will never forget you. You helped me get better. I will see you on the other side someday. Practice your baseball skills now, because when I get there I am going to whip your ass!
