"Ode To Daddy"

We do not ask why you were taken so young. Nor do we ask why did my Daddy go away. We thank you Daddy for giving us life. For all of the nights you rocked us and held us close. For when you dried our tears and made our boo boos go away. We love and thank you Daddy for sitting on the floor with us to do a puzzle or play with blocks, or the times you would just smile or make us laugh. Our only regret Daddy is that we had you for only a brief moment in time. We wish you could be there to watch us dance, to help us get on the school bus for the first time, to watch us grow and to mend our broken hearts. Daddy, mom says you are our angel now and will guide and protect us through the years. But to us Daddy, you have always been our protector and we in turn are your two angels.

Love Forever,

Jessica and Hannah

My thoughts and prayers go out to Albie's family. I was deeply saddened to hear of his death. As a child and as an adult, Albie always had a smile on his face. He will always be remembered that way. I hope that the warm memories Fran & Al, Darlene, Mark, Joe, Lisa and Bobby have of him will help them through this difficult time. It saddens me to think of his two daughters growing up without him.

Darlene,

My thoughts and prayers are with you Hannah & Jessica in this time o terrible loss of Albie. The news just broke my heart because Albie was such a great guy. I was so glad to be able to visit with you awhile ago at Jessica's baptism and Albie & yourself were the greatest hosts as usual. I am sorry I can't give you a hug in person but please know that you and your family are in my thoughts. You and your family have always been of great support and love to mine so in times like these I am really sorry that I could not offer my condolences in person. My God bless you and your children and may He bring you peace in this time of loss of your husband, father and friend.

Albie:

I do not hear your footsteps

as you approach me sitting in silence

my eyes glazed, staring out the window

at the early morning newness

I do not hear your footsteps

as a tear runs down my face

overwhelmed with oceans of emotion

as I whisper a prayer to you

I do not hear your footsteps

as I lift my words to you

hoping with my heart and soul

that you will hear my desperate words

I do not hear your footsteps

as I feel a comfort sweep through me

like a warm breeze in the spring

or a blanket wrapped around me in winter

I do not hear your footsteps

as I begin to feel a strength

from deep within it grows

and I know I am not alone

I do not hear your footsteps

but I feel your presence there

now knowing I'm not alone

I can feel your loving rush through me

I do not hear your footsteps

as I end my silent prayer

but, as I stand to face whatever the day will bring

I know that your footsteps will never walk the other way

Love,

Mark
