    Carmen Muscat Hello my beautiful dad, I want you to meet Levi your great, great grandson. His second name is John after you. We will tell him all about you and what a loving and gentle dad you were to all of us. Levi is truly missing out as all the others had the gift of knowing you and they all talk about you and miss you. I miss you dad, I can’t explain with words how I feel since you left us. Sometimes I need to pretend you are still here cause when reality sinks in I can’t bear it. The only way I am getting through this is knowing that I will see you again. I love you dad, I miss you and pray that one day I can give you that hug I long to give you ❤️

    Carmen Muscat This photo was in our happiest years, What I would give to turn back time Dad. Sitting on the lounge thinking of you and all the beautiful memories you left with us. It doesn’t get any easier without dad, sometimes it’s more difficult because it’s been a long time since I have seen you and I feel very lost. I need you so much right now, you were always the one person who I would run too when I needed to talk. I love you so much dad and I feel very desperate at times that I cannot sit and talk with you like I use too. I pray everyday so that we will meet again, this is the only way that I can move forward, by believing that. I pray and hope that you are with Chris, always happy and at peace. I love you and miss you so very much. There is no one like you dad ❤️🙏
