In memory of my loving dad- Jeff Buehler April 9, 1965- December 21,2002

My dad had always had various heart troubles and seemed to be in the hospital quite often in the last couple years of his life. He never seemed angry about it though, he just always had a wonderful outlook on life.

Everything seemed to be fine, until we got a call from Mayo Hospital. They told us that something terrible had happened and all of my family needed to get down there fast. As i got there, I walked to his room, only to find an empty bed. It was not good.

His nurse led my sister and I down long hallways to a room where I found my mom sitting. I could already tell it was not going to be good. Her exact words to us were, "Girls, Daddy didn't make it last night."

I was in complete shock and denial. How could this be happening? Dad had a severe heart-attack in the shower that morning and they just couldn't save him.

It has been six years now since I have lost my dad. Things are still very very hard and I just don't know when they will ever get better. I hate waking up every morning and knowing that he will not be there to talk to or see.

It sucks, to say the least. I keep hoping that this is all a dream and that everything will go back to the way it used to be, but lets face it- it's not a dream, it's reality.

Daddy I miss and love you so much!

Love your daughter,
Ashley
