My tribute to Daddy
Daddy, I miss you so much. I will always cherish the last week we had together the talks in the lucid moments, the laughs in the middle of the nights. The stories of the war. The way we cried together, the pride in your eyes at knowing I had "made my way". You told me you knew I could do anything. I am that way because of what you instilled in me, the will to pursue my dreams.
We didn't always see eye to eye, however you allowed me to find my path. For this I am thankful. There was no training manual for being a Dad. No hard and fast rules, although you did have rules, there was not one sure way to be a perfect father. You were perfect to me.All any man can ever do is give the best he has. That's what you did for me, Daddy, and I want you to know I know it. I love you with every beat of my heart. I just wish I could have love you longer on this earth. This I give to you:
Wisps of distant memories, are dancing in my soul; The sweetness and the sadness, will follow me wherever I go. For I will take you with me, My heart will hold you near; While wisps of distant memories, Will mingle with my tears.
I'll see you in the evening, In the setting of the day; Your memory will hold me near, You'll never be far away. When I am standing on the shore, and waves come crashing in; I will hear your voice as it whispers, Upon the waters wind.
Deep in my shattered heart, Amid the bittersweet pain; In wisps of distant memories, YOUR love will always remain.
To the best Daddy in the world... I salute You!!! Forever in my heart. Deborah Elizabeth
