I looked at you. You were so peaceful.
Death is so final, it pierces the soul.
But
You left me memories so indelible and clear
The brightness of your smile
The warmth of your hugs
Stories and lessons that you shared
You never truly know the impact of a loved one till they're gone
You, just by living, taught me the value of family and friends
How to enjoy life simply
How to choose love and peace
How to share, forgive, let go and move on
How to shield my loved ones from the harshness of the world
How to extend grace, even when undeserved.
You are special, timeless
You are the only one of your kind.
I miss your laughter and your love
I miss your facial expression as you felt different emotions
I miss the stories, the openness and honesty of our conversations
I miss the way you looked out for me (I made choices because of your interest in me )
So
As we must part company, I will never forget you
I still see your influence in my daily life
I still call your name
I carry you in my spirit
I hold your memories dear
Although it's hard to loose you, the memories of those special moments are mine to keep. I have been touched in a way that many can only dream of. I count you as one of my greatest blessings.
Finding comfort is difficult but I will try. You hated continuous mourning so I will keep in mind the joys you and I shared. Should a tear escape it's because I miss you so much but I will do as you taught me and hide these sweet memories in my heart.
Happy birthday daddy
I love you
