My Story

My dad was one of the MOST kind, caring, easy going, nonjudgemental people in the world. He loved to fish and spend time outdoors. But above anything else, he loved his children. I really think thats what he was made for "to be a daddy". He was the absolute best at spending quality time with his children. From the time they were born until the end. He would do everything that is usually seen as the mothers job, from changing diapers, bathing, feeding, to getting down on the floor and playing with us. He was the dad that would be outside playing kickball with us or at the table playing a board game. My dad would take us on walks and boy his walks were the best. There was always something exciting awaiting us like foot prints from an animal that we would identify, to a new bug, snake, or bird that he would show us and tell us about. And then there was fishing.............it didn't matter if it was at the canal behind his house, at a lake, or the ocean, those were the Best fishing trips ever. It didn't even matter if we stood there all day and never caught a thing. Just having him there teaching you a new way to bait your hook or just having a casual conversation. It was just my dad's presence that made me feel so good inside. He was an AMAZING man and no one will ever compare to him............ I am so Blessed for EVERY second I had him as my daddy..............

COME WITH ME
The Lord saw you 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 & saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, A beautiful smile at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the Best!

It's lonesome here without you, We miss you so each day,
Our lives aren't the same Since you went away.

When days are sad and lonely, and everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper, "Cheer up & carry on."

Each time we see your picture, you seem to smile & say,
"Don't cry, Im in God's keeping, we'll meet again someday."

I didn't get to say "goodbye"' & all the words I wanted you to hear.
I should have said them when I had my chance, But I thought that you'd always be near.

I ran out of time to let you know, just how much you meant to me.
I should have told you, but I thought you knew, but now I will never know, if you really did see.

When I talk to you in my prayers at night, I hope you can hear all I have to say.
I would have told you, if only I could, have had you back for one more day.

Perhaps there were words you wanted to say also, that were left unsaid by you.
But I do know that you loved me, as you knew I loved you too.

We should always say what we feel in our heart, as tomorrow may never come, Speak those words today as you feel them,
and never lose your chance to tell someone. Because "We did not get to say Goodbye"
