I am a Daddy's girl -
My Daddy got sick this past summer - it was brief - He was only 62 when he passed. 62 short years of living but he lived his life his way and enjoyed his life for the most part- his way.
I will never forget Saturday 09/05/09 when we said goodbye to you - I held his hand to the end - we exchanged "I love you" back and forth - to the end my Daddy would not admit to my mother or me "I am going" He just told me; "Daddy needs to rest and I promise I will get better." I love you Daddy. I can't let go of your hand yet...... Though I am suppose to I can’t…..
Every other Sunday I visit you @ your new resting place - I bring to you 1 white rose for each month anniversary - when it is 09/05/10 - you will have 1 dozen - I love you; you were the best Dad/Grandpa anyone could ask for....
My daddy was a great guy, an avid NY METS fan (even when they were losing) Rolling Stones - and of course his "refreshments"
He loved his grandchildren to no end. Spoiled all of us - he was my best friend - he was there for me when I really needed someone - but be prepared for him to tell you the way it was even if you didn't want to hear the truth.
Married *just* 40 years to my mom; Pam - 04/19/09
They had a unique marriage but made it 40 years! Wow -
Grandfather to 7 grandchildren:
Tanya W.
Todd W.
Katherine D.
Scott W.
Marissa R.
Haylee R.
Kymberly R.
He loved his pets - especially the first dog he owned with my mom - Bruin James - though Bruin was suppose to be my Dad's dog - hey mom has that magical touch - then they adopted Kazmir - yes named after Scott Kazmir and their psychotic cat; Sneakers.
You will be forever missed - the 1st holiday without you - the 1st of everything without your presence hurts - but I know you are no longer suffering - you are with your loved ones who were there at the gate -
The only hope is I know someday I will see you again.
I love you Daddy - a.k.a.; "Birdie" love your birdbrain
A Poem dedicated to my Daddy from the words in my heart
To My Daddy
Love Your daughter
A poem from my heart
In my mind I know you had to go
In my heart I can’t let go
Tears fall down my eyes
Like rain drops falling from the sky
On that Saturday night
When I sat and held your hand tight
I cried from within
Begging you not to let go
Not to leave us here all alone
As I sat by your bed side
Felt like your little girl
Who has been gone so very long
Afraid and frightened
But knew I had to be strong
I wanted my Daddy
No encouraging words were said
Just your eyes showing
Peace, tranquility and love
The “I love you” we shared back and forth
Were sincere and from deep within our hearts
Neither could say
The truth of what we knew
Just
I love you
Still looking for answers I can’t seem to find
Still looking for you and feeling like I am losing my mind
Fearing I will not remember
Your voice, your scent or your favorite quip
I grasp tightly to the memories within
You are my Daddy
My "Birdie"
My friend
Iwill always love you
Till we meet again
Waiting at the Door
I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand
It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops
But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled
I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door

I love you Daddy
Dedicated to you Daddy - "You can Let go Daddy" by Crystal Shawanda
Wind blowin’ on my face
Sidewalk flyin’ beneath my bike
A five year-old’s first taste
Of what freedom’s really like
He was runnin’ right beside me
His hand holdin’ on the seat
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the street
You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I’m ready
To do this on my own
It’s still a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go
I was standin’ at the altar
Between the two loves of my life
To one I’ve been a daughter
To one I soon would be a wife
When the preacher asked,
‘Who gives this woman?’
Daddy’s eyes filled up with tears
He kept holdin’ tightly to my arm
‘Till I whispered in his ear
You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I’m ready
To do this on my own
It still feels a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go
It was killin’ me to see
The strongest man I ever knew
Wastin’ away to nothin’
In that hospital room
‘You know he’s only hangin’ on for you’
That’s what the night nurse said
My voice and heart were breakin’
As I crawled up in his bed, and said
You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready
To do this on my own
It’s gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go
You can let go
I can't though Daddy - I love you.
