This man called "my dad" You are now calling home will live on forever in the hearts he has known. Thank you dear Lord for my father so dear, thank you so much for putting him here. There are different ways we could tell of his life, from me, his own daughter, to my mom, his wife. But there is no way I can begin to measure this wonderful man, this treasure, he taught me so much how to love and be strong, and how to admit that it's all right to be wrong. I'd tag along by this man called my hero; I wasn't yet ready to let his hand go. We all think our parents are one of a kind, and maybe they are; but they're hard to find. My dad, my teacher, my strength and my friend was so unique all the way to the end. He rarely complained, didn't like to fuss, he just meant so much to each one of us. You should've heard his incredible stories of how wonderful his life was with none of the worries. He taught me about "You Lord" and the importance of church, and how much You've given without having to search. "You'll find all you need" he would always say, "If God you trust and, continue to pray." Thank You, God, for the times he was brave. His kindness and patience will never compare to his remarkable wisdom with all he did share. We shouldn't take for granted the people we love, because sooner or later they're called from above. And when that time comes, we then realize, how important they were, when they're gone from our eyes. He is loved by his family and always will be, his memory will live through eternity. Thank you for my wonderful dad, thank you for the time we had. He's one of a kind and there can't be any other. He was the perfect person to be called "my father". He was special to me and all of those he met, his presence, oh Lord, we'll never forget. There aren't enough words to describe what he meant, or how his life and his time on this earth was spent. I'll always remember the fun that we had. Teaching me things, he rarely got mad. Teaching me so much about life and how precious it is, is one of the things I know I will miss. Sitting with him and talking about life, just me and my dad, oh how the time would fly. Take me with you, don't leave me here I want to be with you, always be near! Daddy! wait for me when my time is done, and until that day you'll never be gone. You'll always be close to my heart, never in any life will your memory part. And even though I shed a million tears, thinking of you takes away all my fears. Love Your Family.
