What an amazing person he was. From a little girl to a young lady to an older lady (!), I have always felt his presence in my life in a positive way. He was always there (as was my mom) to love and support all of us. He expected a lot. He would always say "Remember, you are a Scully!" He was kind, giving, caring - but never a pushover. He held himself and his family to high standards and none of us wanted to ever disappoint him. He was funny and loved to tell stories. Luckily he wrote many of his stories down before he passes away a few years ago so we have those to share with our kids and our grandkids (someday!) . I was never the prettiest of girls but somehow he always made me feel like a princess. He never failed to tell me that he loved me , and I am glad I said it right back to him. There were times in my life that I am not sure I could have gotten through had it not been for his support and understanding. He never enabled, but always let us know that he would be there for us unconditionally. His belief that faith, family and friends could make even the darkest of days seem skyblue.
"I love you Dad! Thanks for the footprints you left on my heart."
