Dad, You will always be in my heart forever. Words can't express the hurt I'm going through right now. Wondering how I could of let so much time pass with out spending time with you. My heart aches for more time to be spent with you. I will always have my memories of your love for me and all the fun, laughter, tears we shared. You were the best Father a daughter could ask for. I will look after mom for you and try to make up for lost time. When you see me crying know thats its because I miss you dearly. Love, Darlene

If Tears Could...
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
To bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know
I Love you forever Dad, Love Darlene
I miss you Grandpa

I wanted to share this song that I wrote will my father was in Tampa in the hospitol:
He lays in the hospital bed, sedate, serene, and perhaps drifting in and out of sleep.
Where once, bright clear eyes shone openly, attentively and restlous sleep.
Now they are gray and dim, panning effortlessly across the room with nothing to fixate on.
They lay empty they lay cold as if life is already gone.
My father is dying for he is shurly near
But its up to his body to let him live,
Live on another year.
The room is silent as i plea
please try to make him well.
There is only the soft voice of a nurse
The nurse says to me
We will try are very best
but our best might not make him breathe.
We have done everything we can this day
The rest is up to him.
The sound of the Oxygen flowing as I stand there next to him
Nothing else is moving except the drop of liquid gin.
I hope that when he leaves us
He leaves us with a grin
Soon I have to go, and leave him in his bed and hope the next day forward i will see him once again and if i dont I will remember the things he taught to me.
For these words they will remember!
These words that I breathe, My father was not just my Dad He was my friend.
