Dear Dad:
You have been my savior from the day I was born. I remember being so sick as a little girl and you carrying me from the bedroom to the bed in the living room for almost 2 yrs. You never wavered from that grueling job of taking care of me then, Of course MOM was always there too.
 However, as an adult, When tragedy hit my life along with my Heartbreak, and Birth, you stood beside me for a long time to bring me back to the  living with some kind of Sanity that only "  DAD could do
. Sitting with me for more than 6 months making sure I was :OK, holding my hand, crying with me, conforting me and supporting me. MOM was there to but for some reason she always was in the background.and never got the CREDIT that she earned and deserved.and believe me that was enormous!!!!  However, she shared my Dad with her #2 daughter without any complaints ever . Dad you cared for me and my family for a very long time. Could I ever THANK YOU enough, NEVER! but I want you to know that without you "I would not be here", been able to raise my family and have a life and loving family.. You are in my prayers every night along with MOM and until we meet again IN GOD"S HOUSE" I send my LOVE, and know that you are now at peace and without pain...Love to the best DAD in the World....

Whatever I write as a story to remember my beloved Dad, there are no words
adequate to describe him better than those written by #2.  Indeed, he held
her lifeline in his very hands. And surely his heart was breaking every minute
with his #2 daughter's.   Let's not forget Mom in this: one of life's
greatest tragedies, she was always behind the scenes, doing what Moms do.

May you both be at rest and peace in God's house looking down upon all
your children and saying "we did a good job" despite not being perfect, only
human. Dad, thanks for the pennies, keep them coming!!! 

Love  you both: #1
