My Hero.

You held my hand when I was small You caught me when I fell You are the hero of my childhood And my later years as well And every time I think of you My heart still fills with pride Though I will always miss you Dad I know you’re by my side In laughter and in sorrow In sunshine and in rain I know you’re watching over me Until we meet again. Love Always Cassandra and Hilary.

A PaPa Just Like You.

We only hope you knew You meant the world to us Only a heart as dear as yours Would have given so much for us The many things you did All the times that you were there Helped us know deep down inside How much you really cared Even though we might not have said We appreciated all you did Richly blessed is how we feel Having had a PaPa just like you With Love from your grands.

Always In My Heart.

Sometimes in life there are losses. Losses that can never really be replaced. Losing you has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to live with. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I wasn’t ready to let you leave. I would give anything for just one more day, just one more second. But I’ve learned to trust in unconditional love. Because the one profound thing about death is that love never dies. Some bonds cannot be broken. Because even though you’re not physically here, your heart is — it lives on within me. I carry your heart inside mine. I carry it on days when I discover something new. I carry it on days when beauty unfolds in the most unexpected places. I carry it on days when I find courage to heal and to grow. I carry it with me — always. Someday we will meet again — and we will no longer be separated by time or space. But until that day, I’ll find comfort in knowing that you are still with me. Your heart safely tucked inside mine. Some hearts just belong together and nothing will ever change that. I loved you then. I love you now. Always did. Always will. Forever in my mind. Forever in my heart. I will carry you.
