"Daddy" by Kim Miller
On September 13th I lost you my father, a best friend and a huge inspiration in my life. My life will never be the same without you. Dad, first I want to say sorry if you ever felt that you were in the way. It might have seemed a little crowded but I never wanted you to go, especially like this. I am also sorry that you didn't think anyone of us could handle what you were going through. Unfortunately by the time we found out, there was nothing we could do to help. We could only sit back and try to keep you comfortable. You were a gentle and kind soul, always generous, avoided conflict and always tried to make people laugh. You loved to tell stories, had an amazing sense of humor and had a some pretty crazy silly jokes. I will never forget how many times you acted like a dog to make us laugh or how you used to say its 10 o'clock early night and let's not forget the famous g-o-t-o-b-e-d. A man that saw the good in everyone and always turned a negative to a positive. I will always remember that special smile that lite up the room and that caring heart you had. You would always say family is the most important thing in life and should take priority. A value I will cherish forever. I loved the eternal faith in Christ and a passion for the word of God you had. I recently remembered a quote once said "The true measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity". Dad you were ready to listen, pray and offer words of wisdom through the scriptures. I truly feel in my heart that you were the closest thing to a real saint. The greatest gift God gave me was you. It is very difficult to let you go but I must return the gift God gave me. While you are in heaven please continue to pray and watch over us. Until we meet again Daddy Doodles ❤
