Mele Thomas
He was my Dad and even though the first words that I said to him were "I hate you" he became one of the people that I loved and will always love most in this world. He was funny and had a wicked sense of humor. He taught me to love life, to be a dreamer, and to never do things that I would feel guilty about. He loved to travel and because of that I got an education that only traveling and living in other countries could give. He was the best dad that I could have ever asked for. He took a scared little girl and became her friend, her father and a protector. I think about him everyday and I will try to teach my kids the things that he taught me, therefore never ever forgetting him. I love you Pops! ~ Da Kid!
