R.I.P. Daddy
9/16/52 - 8/30/06
Forever in my heart, I love you always and forever.


The only man a girl can count on in her life is her daddy. For always they are there with open arms as you face a day of fears and suddenly the tears start to flow. His arms are always there, until he is taken away.


A million words won't bring you back,I know because I've tried. Neither would a million tears I know because I've cried


Not all scars show,
Not all wounds heal,
Sometimes you can't always see,
The pain someone feels.


And so, as one smart bear once said..."If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you." - Winnie the Pooh


I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.


The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.


Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.








~Will I be ready to face the end?~
~Will you be ready to deal with the matter at hand?~
~When I do go don't you shed a tear,~
~Just be thankful for all the good times over the years.~
~If you need someone all you have to do is call.~
~You may not see me or be able to touch me, but you will see,~
~I will be there in your heart and you will hear me.~
~So if you stop to think about me,~
~Just know that I'm alright, it's the way it had to be.~
~If you do stop to think about me don't you start to cry,~
~Just know that I have experieced life and was ready to say goodbye~
