No I will never say goodbye to u dad
because I know this is not the end for us to see each other.
U will only be going to a place where there's no pain nor suffering.
I am ok for u will be with God.
For now we need to go in separate ways.
I remember how ur arms hold me and give me strength.
U were always there to listen, love, and defend me in everything.
U were my bestest best friend in the whole wide world.
I'm very grateful and proud to call u my dad.
Here deep inside my heart ull always be.
I would give up everything I have just to hug u one more time.
I remember the last time I held ur hand and how u looked at me in the eyes; I kissed u all over only tears ran down my face.
If only I could turn back the time I would have never let u go.
I felt the world stop and my heart stop beating when they told me u were gone…….
How I wish I was only dreaming.
Just like the rain; tears fell down from my eyes, I couldn't speak for awhile.
Thank u Dad….
For always understanding, listening, caring, and loving me ur whole life.
The greatest gift God gave me was YOU…….. my Dad…
It's difficult to let u go but I must…
I must return the gift God gave me…
Till then;
See you in Heaven………. Love ur one and only, meggy moo
