November 10, 2019 I suffered the worst pain anyone could suffer, when I loss you, my Dad, Father and Best Friend. In your eyes I could do no wrong, you loved me unconditionally.
Our memories that we shared I will cherish forever. I am so thankful that you knew how much you meant to me and how MUCH I LOVE YOU.
When I think of a Good Father a True Father, I think of my Father – YOU
A Fathers heart is pure and kind.
He protects, provides for all the time.
Not a need he will not meet,
for his child’s good the goal he seeks.
A child trusts a true father’s heart;
from his words, he’ll not depart;
follows closely in his footsteps;
stands with courage when life tests.
Rules and boundaries a father sets
as he knows all, so what is best.
I LOVE YOU MAN ….. you will always in my heart …..
Faye,
You and your family are in my prayers. While I didn’t know your father, I know he was a good man, because he has a wonderful daughter. Please let me know if you need anything.
