I miss my daddy! I want my daddy!

On father's day, 2008 was the first time in my life without a dad to hug & kiss. My father was the most wonderful father that anyone could ask for - and my mother is the greatest mother & wife. My father was my hero in so many ways, and I miss him so much that words can't express. I always think how he loved his children, growing up - always holding the four of his children in his arms, his love for his wife, he adored his parents & siblings, daughter in laws, every grandchild & family - he was remarkable. I can't believe that he has departed from us. Although I haven't dreamt of him yet, I always see his face at night when I go to bed & hold him close throughout my day.
I heard that while growing up he was one of the toughest guys around, but never bullied anyone and respected so many people - he had so many friends from grade school. His "toughness" carried on to the end. When we go the news that sad day that he had months to live, neither my mother nor any of his children had the strength to call anyone to let them know of his diagnosis. He instead, called his siblings & my mother's - without a sign of being upset. We all cried while he talked on the phone. He told us not to cry & to keep moving on with our own family. My father was our own family and our lives revolved around him & my mother!
As he go sicker, he would only tell us that he didn't feel well, without telling his children specifics - he would only tell my mother how he felt. I never heard him really complain - but new he was very sick & he would leave us. I really never wanted to believe that he was sick & kept praying with my father, mother, & other family memebers hoping that a miracle would occur, or somehow he would get better. My father didn't want to be a burden to anyone - and as sick as he got, I can honestly say what little I did, he wasn't a burdon to me - I just wanted to be with him forever. At Christmas I said that as I saw my father getting older prior to his diagnosis, what he would consider a slow day for himself, was what I could't even call a fast day for me - between his errands, cooking, shopping & cleaning - especially when he would get ready for a family dinner for eighteen or more.
I will miss you forever daddy, you are and always will be "my daddy". I miss you asking me what I want to eat when I'm not feeling well, something I can remember you asking from the time I was in 2nd grade; your phone calls, your presence & your face. I miss so many things, but most of all I miss you!
So many people told me at my fathers wake that it was certainly a honorable tribute to my father that so many people attended his wake, guestimating over 1200 visitors - including new & old friends & neighbors who know him as a little boy.
I will never stop thinking of my father & send him hugs & kisses yesterday, today and everday. xoxoxo

Lucy and family,
My deepest sorrows are with you all. Pat was such an honerable man. From the moment I met him, like many others, he made me feel like I was important to him. He always had his hand out and was ready with kind words and support no matter what HE was going though.
He loved his family very much and you all have that gift from him. You are all a very special family and Pepa will be with us all ALWAYS.
All My Love
