Dad,
There is not a day that goes by, that I don't have reminders of you everywhere I go. I find myself listening in the night for you, or walking by your room and expecting to see you there watching tv. I sometimes think that you are calling me. I now know that you knew that I was not ready to let you go so soon after mom passed away, and you fought your way back from the brink of death to make suer that we would be ok. I know that you are in a happier place now that you have found mom again. You will always be in my heart. Rest in peace, I love you

Dad,
Not a day goes by, that something around the house reminds me of you. There are times that I still can hear you. I wake in the night and listen for you, but realize that you're not there anymore. I know that you're with mom, and are probably happier now. Thank you for staying as long as you did, I know now that you knew that I was not ready to let you go right after mom, and fought your way back to us. You will always be in my heart. RIP I love you.
