My poem to you::
Hey Daddy, It me- just a couple last questions before you go.. Does Heaven feel like a hot bath and smell like our baby’s heads? Does it sound like our children’s laughter while they try to stay up from bed? Does it taste like chocolate and sparkle like morning dew? Actually, I guess those things don’t matter now because when I get there I’ll have you. Love-your daughter, Amy Ruthie “The best times of my life were when I only had 50 cents in my pocket.”-Robert C. Atkinson

I miss you daddy.. I shall wake every morning and do my best to make you proud from up above. I will keep you living here on earth (as I know you are in Heaven) by singing your songs, reading your stories and poems, teaching my children your wisdom in SO many things, saying each of your many wise quotes and loving every day with your sense of appreciation for even the smallest of things. If I am only half of the parent you are- I will be proud. My poem to you:: Hey Daddy, It me- just a couple last questions before you go..

Does it taste like chocolate and sparkle like morning dew? Actually, I guess those things don’t matter now because when I get there I’ll have you.

I know you truly demonstrated this from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and helped so many during your years of heartache.

I am proud to be your daughter and love you are with your Father feeling the ultimate freedom and love you so much deserved. I wrote you a poem, it’s surely not as good as any of yours- but it helped me as writing always helped you. Hey Daddy, It me- just a couple last questions before you go..
