My hero Daddy - I wish that I had been able to see you. You are always in my heart, and my thoughts. I love you. If I had have known you were that sick, I would have moved heaven and earth to bring you to Toronto - where they saved you the first time. xoxoxo

I lost my dad on the 6th of October 2012. He died from complications from his COPD in his sleep suddenly. I lost my dad a month before I got married and he never got to walk me down the aisle. I miss him more then anything in the world and I am currently trying to think up a fundraiser to raise awareness for this horrible disease and to encourage people to quit smoking. I love you daddy.

My Dad died from etheopathic fibrosis, this is a disease that affects the lungs with scarring.

My Dad was first diagnoised with walking phenomia and in three weeks he was gone. Since that time my Dad's brother died from the same thing,
