I'm sitting here in my room, looking at your picture wondering why you couldn't be a part of my future uncontrollable tears stream down my face,
while my heart beat starts to race.
Asking God why he took you from my life,
it was more painful than stabbing me in the heart with a knife.
I still needed you here
you were the one to make everything so clear.
you are a part of me and I am apart of you
when you died a part of me died too.
I never knew how hard it was to loose someone you love
until the day you went to heaven above.
Even though I can't see,
I know you're up there watching over me and the kids.
I miss you more and more every day
and all I can do is pray.
In my heart you shall forever remain.

Forever in our hearts

My Day, My Angel
Your battle is now over, no more tears flowing down your cheek, no more pain, no more suffering, now you are no longer weak.
I still do not understand why this had to happen to you, but I am so proud to say your are my dad, the greatest man I ever knew.
Although you will not be here to walk me down the aisle, when that day comes I know you will be by my side with a smile.
You were always there for me and never once made me cry, until the day you closed your eyes and had to say goodbye.
Now you are my Angel, so spread your wings out wide, please wrap them around me whenever you see me cry.
Our time together was memorable and God took you way too fast. But the most precious thing to me was you being there for my first breath, and me being there for your last.
I love you Daddy, till then see you in heaven xxx
