Today is one year ago that my father passed away. Not one day has gone by that I haven’t thought about him. I will miss that man forever and wish that other people have the chance in life to meet someone as extraordinary as that man.
I wrote a poem for him.
It has been a year but in our hearts you remain
Time heals wounds but doesn’t lessen the pain
You were a man that so many aspired to be
We were blessed to be part of your family
There were so many things that made you unique
A giant smile, a genuine laugh, an honest critique
A man of virtue who eloquently guided his clan
A man God sought out to follow his plan
Heaven’s gain, unfortunately was our disaster
We were left behind. We lost our master
No one will ever replace the man you became
Even a sunny day will never be the same
All the riches couldn’t buy the happiness you supplied
Our lives forever changed the day that you died
Until we meet again, our sweet, kind, loving man
Save us a spot on the other side
If you can

Your dad is missed by so many. The poem is beautiful… you have a such a talent for writing. Don’t ever give up your dream of getting a book published, it will happen and when it does, your dad will be smiling from up above. He was your biggest fan and he is still rooting for you. xoxo Heidi
