Thank You, Dad

Your faithful presence, felt through all the years
our father's constant love brings grateful tears.

Without complaint, you worked hard to provide
though often tired, you listened as we shared
about our day, and then you'd gently guide
with words of wisdom, and we felt inside
you understood, with tenderness and care.

How reassuring
to have a father who loved
so deeply and completely.

You sacrificed, gave
and persevered for our sakes
we are blessed to call you DAD.

My heart aches for you and your love ones.. I lost my dad 2007 in that time I was in the process of selling our home in Oregon so we could move to Texas so I could care for him, but he passed a few weeks before it sold. My children had already moved to be with me and I had already bought a home in Texas.. So I couldn't change my mind.
