Not sure what to say?

Today, I made a reservation for a Fishing Charter boat for our Keys trip. Jake, Samantha, David and I will be making memories that I hope will live forever in each heart, much like those that I hold so dear of fishing with my Daddy. It made me think of the first big fishing trip that Daddy took me on a "Head Boat". I was nine years old...and I remember vividly our day of fishing, laughing and eating a bunch of sandwiches that Grandma Smith had made for our trip. We caught a bunch of Red...

Today marks the second year that we said our final good-byes to you Daddy. It feels like it was just yesterday, the pain is still so real and intense. There are very few days that pass that I do not think of you with tears in my eyes.

Thank You Daddy for all that you were and most of all thank you for the unconditional love.

Daddy


Daddy is not here, not where I can see,
But wait, he is still with me, his voice lives on inside of me.
I hear his sigh of “ay-me” when I face the stress of the day,
I hear him reply, “that’d be alright” when I wonder what would Daddy say?
I hear his chuckle of mischief when I am amused,
I hear his last spoken words to me, “Pat, I love you too”.

Daddy is not here, not where I can see,
But I feel the warmth of his love, in the gifts bestowed on...

This was Daddy's favorite spot - all the kids, grandkids and great-grandkids spent time with him here.
