It’s crazy how fast time flies
A little girl and her dad
Who can understand the power of love
In good times and in bad
You cannot go back in time
You can only make the best of things
You were a son, a husband, a father, a pilot, a soccer coach
You were an amiable man
I was your only daughter
With four sons before me
It’s strange really how we got separated
For almost 2 decades I lost you
So much hardship and confusion
Interesting the paths we choose
Guided by flawed beliefs
And surviving is what we do
Right or wrong, good or bad
Our choices define the time we spend on earth
I am so glad that in the end we had eachother
For many years we developed our new norm
And it was fun and we made up for lost time
Truly the power of forgiveness is like an open door
Darkness turning to light
You were a shining light for so many
I did not even know them
But you are remembered as a leader
Your positive nature encouraged others
You had so much fight in you
You defied death time and time again
You were on the ten year plan
You made it half way
You taught me to move forward
You showed me how to hold my head up high
We had quite a few fun adventures together
I’ll cherish everyone of them
You finally made it back to mom
And Barney
And all those who left before you
You knew when it was time to go
You accepted it
You cracked jokes and made people laugh
The night before you let go
I will always remember
For me, you saved the best for last
“I love you too Sweetheart “
Last words you said to me
They ring in my ears today
Love you Daddio.❤️
Powerful and beautiful.
