Another Father's Day

 Another Father's Day without my Dad.

He was such an amazing Dad, if only

everyone realized the way I did.

It was hard for him to talk, but the

look in his eyes told me everything.

I will never forget the way he

squeezed my hand the last day

I ever saw him.

He was so strong and held on to his

last moment.

Nobody deserves to be in pain,

like he was.

Even though I miss him so much,

I'm glad he is no longer in pain.

We do miss the people we love. With old age coming. I know I need to spend time with kids and the grandchildren. Time is our greatest wealth. You honored your father's memory with your words.

WOW! This is the ultimate expression of caring & compassion. Even tho you are showing us a word portrait of your dad, what really comes across & bowls over the reader is the way you show us YOU! Not in a pretentious way in the least, seemingly without any realization of how YOU are coming across. But your sweet sincerity & empathy are so honest & pure, it practically bowls me over! Beautiful tribute to your dad & I'm sorry he's not with you in the physical sense (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Nice to have memories of your dad.I for sure do. I miss my dad everyday. He was a strong man a real man. He will always be loved and anyways be missed. From reading this here I know you loved your dad and he did you as well. Keep those good memories and smile when you think of them. I watched my dad to the very end I spent the last night with him and the next day he was gone. I know how you feel. I say cheers to our fathers
