What crazy shit are you getting into today?&#8217; Or &#8216;hows your cars doing?&#8217;, or the most important thing, &#8216;you watch the @detroitredwings game last night?&#8217; You would think he had something invested in the team he LOVED his redwings so much,&#8221; Jax began his post.\u00a0&#8220;I still can&#8217;t believe you&#8217;re gone, sometimes I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s real, I listen to your voicemails and videos all the time, always thinking, &#8216;what if ?&#8217; Or &#8216;why?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"67.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"25\">\n<p>&#8220;I know you are with me because too many positive things have happened to me this year and I have seen so many signs of you,&#8221; Jax continued. &#8220;We still get to have our talks but now they take place at church on Wednesday&#8217;s and when I take your ashes with me on my cruises with the guys. Btw, dad everyone loves your corvette and I promise I am taking great care of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jax went on to mention his upcoming wedding to <strong>Brittany Cartwright<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am getting married this year dad, I don&#8217;t know how I am gonna do it with out you physically standing by me, and helping me with my tie like the old days at hockey tournaments, god I miss those days,&#8221; Jax shared. &#8220;But I know you will be with me. I still don&#8217;t understand how God could take the best man\/person\/husband\/father\/coach I know. After you passed I have to admit I wanted nothing to do with God, I was angry, sad, disgusted on how he could take such a beautiful man, but I remembered how much you loved him and how you always told me how important God was to you, so I started going back to church and believing again, I have to believe he has a plan, and that I will see you again one day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-5\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"61\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"12\">\n<p>&#8220;I love you dad so much, I hope you are proud of me and all the changes I have made with myself,&#8221; he concluded his post. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t easy after you left us, but with the help of Jenny and Brittany, I have learned to deal with things in a more positive, healthy way. Today is a hard day, but we will get through it like we always do. I love you dad so much, you are and will always be my best friend.
