Dad, there are no words to explain what's in my heart. The day I watched you take that last breath put a hole in my heart that can never be repaired! You were loved , admired and respected by every single person you have touched. I am so proud that you belonged to me. God gave me the greatest dad in the world. These past 18 years since mommy died left just me and you and I had the priveledge of spending everyone of those days with you! Through the years we have made memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life! I will miss hearing your voice, the voice that told me every day how much you loved and appreciated me. I will miss kissing and hugging you every single night before I went to bed. When I look at that empty chair I see you tapping your heart and pointing to me in the doorway and saying your heart was beating because of me. That was "our" little ritual and I still look at that chair and remember.... so all I have left are the memories and for that I am grateful. You know, people would say I was lucky that you lived a long life and although I know I had you longer than a lot of people have a dad, but I was not ready! I guess I would never have been ready! As the saying goes, "although you've loved me since the day I was born, I've loved you your whole life". Give mommy a kiss from me. Daddy you will live on in my heart forever and thank you for making me into the person I am today! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I love you to the moon... until we see each other 💙
