Happy Birthday Daddy!

There is so much I would love to have the opportunity to tell you. I was lucky to have almost 31 years with you, but I can’t help wishing I had so many more. I love you and miss you every single day. You were a special father who taught us so much over the years. I know I wouldn’t be who I am today without you. Love you Daddy! 💖

~ Father Dear ~

A loving and present father is one of the greatest gifts

You can ever find in this life. 

My dad was the person 

I looked up to the longest.

He’s one of the reasons

I have worked as hard as I could 

To make something out of myself

Even when the self-doubt tried to stall growth.

Dear heart, please keep me going

Towards these goals

I had hoped I would be able to complete

Before anything was to happen. 

But sometimes our dreams look a little

Different with time and we 

Have to keep ourselves going even

When the days just keep getting harder. 

His was the voice of reason when 

It felt as if the world was falling apart

The person we would go to for advice

On every single one of life’s problems.

But what happens when he 

Is the one person I want to go to for 

Advice on how to handle all of this?

It hurts my heart to think of him gone. 

Father dear, I’d give so much

To be able to see you again

To hear your voice

To be able to hug you close.
