A Tribute To Family   

~ Michelle A. Moran         

 "I don't know when it started,
Or how it all began.
But God created families,
As only our Lord can.
He was teaching what it means,
To love, honor, and obey.
He wanted a strong bond,
That we don't see too much today.
He wanted someone to hold us,
And show respect for others.
He wanted someone who'd be gentle,
And so he created mothers.
He wanted someone strong,
A support filled with love.
And so he created fathers,
Sent from heaven up above.
Brothers and sisters came next,
With that, an instant friend.
Someone to look up to,
Someone on who to depend.
When he put them all together,
He was amazed at what he'd done.
He had created a family,
Mother, father, daughter, son.
But look at the family,
Created by only two.
How many we've become,
And all because of you.
We have a lot to be thankful for,
The memories through the years.
The many times together,
Full of laughter, full of tears.
I don't know where we'd be today,
If it weren't for the two of you.
To show us strength, support, and love,
Like only the two of you can do."

It’s 2023 and I miss you and Mom more and more everyday. You both meant the world to us. Life is not the same without you both. You both have taught us so much. The love you both gave all of us in unimaginable. The best parents a child could ask for. We love our children the same. You both were great examples of love. I wish we could relive those memories. What I wouldn’t do to tell you both how much I love you both and give you both big hugs and kisses. Never enough time together. I know Kristian is now with you both. Two people he looked up to and live so very much. You both were such great grandparents. Always watching over your grandchildren and spending precious time with them. The laughs you gave them and the memories. Thank you Mom and Dad!! God granted us such a lucky life with you both. Someday we will all be together again.  Hugs and kisses to both of you and to my beautiful godson Kristian!! I love you all

Not a day goes by that I don't miss you, and wish I could give you a big hug, or sit down and talk when I'm having a rough day! You always had the most powerful words of wisdom, advice, and encouragement! My daughter is so precious, and I know you would have loved to mush her up! I'm doing well, and I've come a long way, I know your watching over us! We will meet again one day, and I know you'll have your arms wide open! I miss you tremendously, and I love you with all my heart Grandpa Bruce!

Grandpa, it's amazing how much things have changed since you've been gone. You were really the glue in our family that held us together and things just aren't the same without you here.

Bruce was a great example of what every man should be like. He left a family that learned from him and his ways, and it shows. He always had a smile, was kind, caring and loving. We miss him and all the fun he included us in at his home and gatherings. We are only inlaws in this family, but he always made us feel part of him and his family. Christmas is his special time of the year!
