To my dear father;

I don't know how to thank you for all you have done in your lifetime. You were the best father, grandfather and husband. Such a kind, humble, intelligent, patient, brave and loving man. I don't know how we'll go on without you, you meant the entire world to us. I dream of the day we will walk again in the garden, talking about bamboo, you telling me the latest news and all the new advances in the medical world. Asking me to bring those girls on over, that they are never trouble, we can play in the yard and you'll put on a nice roast for us all. I will miss you so much more than I could ever put into words. I love you dad, my best friend, and will so miss calling to ask you home improvement questions, advice about the children or just to see how you're doing. I loved getting to see you almost everyday and I am forever lost. To my dad, we'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, but we'll meet again, some lovely day.

Thank you for fixing the old swing for me.
All my love eternally, Catherine

It's the beauty within us that makes it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us. The question is not what you look at but what you see. -Henry David Thoreau-

My love is selfish. I cannot breathe without you. -John Keats-

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever. -Alfred Lord Tennyson-
