When i was younger we lived in Mississippi dad woke me up before daylight.We snuck off to go fishing just him and me.Funny i don't remember going home that day but I remember everything we did while fishing.It wasn't often that we got that time together.If ever there was a daddys girl it was me.i miss him and wish I told him more how much I loved him
I thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
and the day before that, too.
I think of you in silence,
I often say your name,
But all I have is memories
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.
I shed tears for what might have been,
a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still,
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone,
For part of me went with you,
the day God took you home.
The Golden Gate stood open
He saw that you were getting tired,
and a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come with Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
and saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
Your heart full of love stopped beating
your happy little hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
that he only takes the best.
And my Pap truly was the BEST!! My daughter Bella recently asked me if she could have the picture of her & her Papi, so I went & bought her a special picture frame & gave it to her, she carries it with her everywhere. He not only lives on through me his granddaughter, he lives on through his great-grandchildren. My kids tell everyone about their Papi & what a special man he was. Every year at school they send stars home with the kids for their wall of Military Men & Women & every year my son writes his Papi's name on it & turns it in to be on the wall, he says so that everyone will know what a HERO he was!! And that he was, he was a Hero to us all. He was the glue that held our Family together.
"My Pap was more than my grandfather he was & is my Hero!! He meant everything to me & there is not a day that has gone by that I have not thought about & missed him. Nothing is the same without him, I lost a piece of my heart when he passed away & it will not be filled until we meet again. I love you Pap!!"
