My Dad, My Friend

My Dad was the best He was there when I needed him most He was my best friend He helped me through hard times He loved me no matter what We would go for rides together We would catch at least one Florida Gator baseball game in the spring time for awhile He was my movie buddy The movies mom didn’t want to see we went and saw I remember all the trips to the mountains to stay in a cabin in Northern Georgia All the trips to the Blue Ridge Skyline Drive and Great Smokies We went as far north as Niagara Falls, Canada When I was in school my Dad was my math tutor He was good in math But I definitely wasn’t I remember when I liked to watch a lot of ice skating My Dad got tickets to an ice skating event with Scott Hamilton I enjoyed even though we were in the nose bleed section My Dad wasn’t perfect But he was still awesome to me He was my best friend And I will forever remember him Love you Dad I’ll see you again in paradise

Julie this was beautiful and heartfelt to read. Your dad will always live in your loving heart for him and in your memories. I am so glad you had a wonderful dad that was there for you, and how he cherished his daughter. How I wish I could have this relationship with my daughter like you had with your dad. I am so sorry for your loss and I am sure your dad is in heaven and someday you will see him again. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece, it reminded of my dad Rene. God bless you...

Sounds like a perfect imperfect Dad…the best…Sorry for your loss. My mom passed three years ago. My heart breaks for you, Julie.
