Dear Dad

Dear Dad,  Hey I miss you, been a good long two years since I had seen you. I was just thinking about the jokes you used to tell "laugh out loud" and how mom used to smile when you looked her way, she always use to say you made her day.  I miss cooking those big meals on Father's Day and every holiday "man what fun times" my uncles use to say. You were like a dad to them, a hero in someway.  You provided a roof for us and anyone who needed a place to stay, man those were the days, I could imagine your face when I was born, your one and only daddy's little girl, protective like a father suppose to be, you watch me grow and I grew to be kindhearted and humble like you.  You taught me never to take anyone for granted and to spread love and laughter, that is what we need on this planet, you never showed anyone your stress, until that day I saw you were laying next to mom in the bed.  She was on a call with 911, I could hear the pain and the panic in her voice as the operator on the other end was steady saying "stay calm I cant hear you" for 30 minutes strait, I grab my phone and call 911, told them we need an ambulance right away, I comfort mom as they came in and wheeled you away, trying to stay calm just for her sake.  We did not know god was going to call you home that day.  Dear Dad,  Hey I miss you........

A very sad but beautiful written poem, remeber one thing, from Him we come and to Him we have to go, this world is only a test, it s all about deeds, this life is all about making your God pleased, everyone has to go one day and you can t do anything except accepting it, My father is 59, I knew he ll die one day, I don t know I ll bare it, even the thought of it make me cry, he s my most favourite person on Earth, I m 15 at this time and I want him to see me doing succes, to proudly say my name

I can understand how your feeling we all want to make our parents proud and put a smile upon their face and I’m sure your father is very proud of you now being that you were 15 reading this you’re 18 now so hopefully you’ve made him proud and try to spend every moment loving him.
