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. Written on 5/12/2017

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.

Thank you, Niall. I have been quite fortunate to have a loving father, and I think of him often, as he lives far away and is in declining health. Thankfully, my mother is doing fine. I appreciate your kind comments :)
