This is a little posting in memory of my dearly loved father who passed away under tragic circumstances 12 years ago today.
Like most father daughter relationships we were the light of each other's lifes and the day that I lost him I truly felt that my heart had been ripped out. It took me several years to come to terms with his passing but I completely understand now & instead of crying on his anniversary like I used to, I pop on down to the cemetary with my flowers and have a good old catch up natter with him.
I'd much rather he be at peace where he is than living a life of misery here on earth.
Now I will share with you the words that I wrote for his obituary..
You brought me into this world dear Dad
And taught me how to grow
You taught me how to walk & talk
But now you've had to go
Still like a star you shine so bright
Within my heart & mind
Until we meet again dear Dad
Goodnight, I love you so
Now that's a verse that I haven't shared with anyone for 12 years now, so it just goes to show how special you all are to me.
Thank you all for being my friends.
Extra special hugs
Lorraine
