I miss you so much.  You are my heart and soul.  I know we had some hard times when I was younger but we made it though. When I we would argue we wouldn’t talk for a few days, but we couldn’t stay away from each other.  I love you so much....

Missing you Daddy

February 10, 2019

Well, Dad....

Dad, has you know that heaven gained another angel 2-3-19 @745p.  Doing what I had to do was the hardest thing in the world besides losing you.  But, I just couldn't see Grandpa suffering.  We didn't get to save a lot of things from the fire in the house, but a few pictures, some of Grandma's jewerly, and Grandpa's certificates from the Navy, and Air Forces.  No, pictures of mom but when she was younger.  

I miss you so much....U was the first person I wanted to call to help my make the right decision about pulling him off the fluids and breathing tube, but I couldn't so I talked to you.  When the number 59 came across Grandpa's machines there was my answer that you was there ready to take Grandpa home with you.  So I made the decision to pull them.  Every time I see that number 59 I feel like you are here with me know matter where I see that number.

Love you Dad,

Daddy:

 

It's been a rough time since you have been gone.  I can't believe it will be almost a year in March.  I miss you every day.  There are sometimes that I want to pick up that phone, and call you to let you know how things are going here, but I have to stop myself.  

I talk to you every day and night!  Yes, I am still working all the time, and I do it to keep my mind busy.  Yes, I can hear you telling me to slow down, but I can't do that right now.  

"AS WE LOOK BACK"

As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering …..
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us …..
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgment,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We’re thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.

"YOUR SPIRIT"

I know that no matter what
You will always be with me.
When life separates us
I’ll know it is only your soul
Saying goodbye to your body
But your spirit will be with me always.
When I see a bird chirping on a nearby branch
I will know it is you singing to me.
When a butterfly brushes gently by me so care freely
I will know it is you assuring me you are free from pain.
When the gentle fragrance of a flower catches my attention
I will know it is you reminding me
To appreciate the simple things in life.
When the sun shining through my window awakens me
I will feel the warmth of your love.
When I hear the rain pitter patter against my window sill
I will hear your words of wisdom
And will remember what you taught me so well
That without rain trees cannot grow
Without rain flowers cannot bloom
Without life’s challenges I cannot grow strong.
When I look out to the sea
I will think of your endless love for your family.
When I think of mountains, their majesty and magnificence
I will think of your courage for your country.
No matter where I am
Your spirit will be beside me
For I know that no matter what
You will always be with me.
