I want you to meet...

My Dad!


DAD
: {with the help of mum} gave me life!
: cuddled and nurtured me
:  encouraged my first steps
:  tickled me to death
:  tucked me in at night
:  showed me the right paths
:  guided me through teenage life
:  cut the strings when I turned 18
:  taught me to have an open mind
:  gave me away at my wedding
:  held, and nurtured, my first born, and second and third born
:  always had the right words
:  always had a hand to hold
: always had a "blossoming" money tree!
:  a storyteller
: had a knack of the early morning wake up call!
: a stickler for doing it the right way
: a proper gentleman
: a right softie
: a charmer too
: he was the hug everyone needed
: FULL of love

These are just some of the things I think of when I think of Dad......
There are SO MANY more things but I will be here until infinity listing them

Dad is struggling with life right now.....one he is not going to win
I will MISS him and I will ALWAYS love him
{in the words of Buzz Lightyear}

to infinity and beyond!!

  7. Oh, three quarters of the way down...I was so jealous of your dad. Of YOU.
    (I lost my Dad in '93)
    I am so sorry for your pain. SO very sorry.
    Love to you and your family, Suz,
    Deep breathes. Feel the love surrounding you.

  8. There is nothing like the connection between a dad and his little girl. What wonderful memories you have.

    My heart goes out to you. My dad was just out for a visit (I live in the UK he lives in the US) it broke my heart saying goodbye.

    You are both on the minds of many now. All I can say is I am sorry for the pain you are all going through now.

  9. Hi there. I meandered over to this post. I'm assuming that your dad may have passed - so, so sorry. I lost my mom just this January and it is so difficult. What a beautiful post.
