Dad
Dad
Very creative with his hands, loved unconditionally, spiritual believes
Husband of my mother, father to four sons and four daughters,
grandfather and great-grandfather
Loved his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren unconditionally, work alcoholic welder, hunting and fishing,
strong Catholic faith, tamales
Who hated not working, not being able to watch boxing,
not being able to see his children as they got older
Had no fear of anything except losing his loved ones
Who would have loved to live longer than he did without Parkinson’s
Born, raised, and passed in Texas
My loving Dad

As My Tears Fall For My Dad
One Father One Mother
A bond from the heavens on the flight of a dove
Unconditional love
Perceived and felt first in their hearts
~
Sickness
~
Has taken daddy away
With the release of a dove
To be with his own parents in paradise
No longer does he suffer
He is sheltered in perfection from all illness, pain, and sorrow
~
I grief
~
Drowning in tears
I wasn’t ready for him to leave
~
I miss
~
Looking at the man that was my hero
His whispers when he’d say I love you
The smell of his cologne
~
Though
~
I smile to know
He still lives on in my heart
His life has not ended
~
But
~
Started a new life in paradise
I just would like to say I love you one more time
