I could use a hug Artie..

It is these tough days when I have so much to do, so much stress to contend with that I miss you the most. You could always make me smile and you made my life so much easier all of the time. You had a knack for just knowing when I felt bad or was having a crappie day. If I needed to a compliment, you were the first one to give it. There was always a hug waiting in your arms for me, and your timing with those hugs was always impeccable. Days when I felt I could do nothing right, you were right there to tell me what a great job I was doing.   I miss you beyond the realm of comprehension Artie.
