On September 12th, I lost my father. It was the hardest thing I've ever been through. He was the person I leaned on when I just needed someone, and he will always be in my heart. I thank god for all the good days I had with him, and the fact that I could finally be "Daddy's Little Girl". I miss having someone to help me with homeowrk, and give me soccer tips. I thanked god everyday for how happy he made my mom, my brother, and I. I know he'll always be in our hearts, but I can't help but miss the physical aspect of him being here.
Mom- I'm so sorry that he had to go as early as he did. But you are truly me hero, and Daddy passing on made me realize it even more. you handled it so well, and I really admire you for it.
My father was a truly wonderful man, an awesome father, a caring friend, and a loving husband. He will always be watching over us.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

It has taken me a while to be able to come here and post something because when my husband died a part of me went with him. First of all I would like to thank you all for you kind words during this time of sadnesss for me, the kids, and the entire Longo family. John was a very special man who would give the shirt of his back if you needed it. He had the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known. He had overcome alot of personal demons in his life and was truely a better person when he did. When we got together we taught each other how to love and be loved, how to trust and be trusted, and most importantly we were soulmates. Everyday I had with John was a true gift from God. He was a father to my children and loved them just as if they were his own. They had never really had that in there life. They cherish the times and conversations they had with him. He is in a better place now and has no more burdens or demons to face. He is free. Although there is still alot of pain and sorrow in my heart I know in time that God will remove that and replace it with all the good memories we had together. There was a poem read at his funeral that was called Miss Me But Let Me Go. And that is what John would want us all to do. He may be physically gone but he will remain in all our hearts forever. Thank you all for you condolences and prayers.

Much love and prayers I send your way and as always I will be here for you. A highlight of my life was photographing the wonderful wedding you had and a very sad and low point in my life is knowing it lasted for such a short time. He is with God and God is with you.
