I know I talk about my dad a lot on this site and who he was to me and how much I miss him...This year on 11/15/2007 it was 8 years since he passed away..and I thought Id show you guys a picture of him as well as something I wrote for him...
This was him about 3 months before he died watching my last soccer game and cheering me on...
Here is what I wrote...
Dad
As I hear the cry of my mother
I feel instantly out of place,
As they break the bad news to me gently
Salty tears stream down my face.
I couldn't believe what they had told me
It couldn't really be true,
As I quietly held my head in my hands
I didn't know what to do
Was I suppose to break down?
Get up and walk out the door?
The person I'd known since I was born
Was not here any more
Always there when I needed him
A caring shoulder to cry on,
Trustworthy, Honest, graceful and kind
Someone that you could rely on
Now all that is left are memories
The good and fun times that we had
The man I would have done anything for,
My dad!

Rain,
Spouting, \t
Streaming,
Pouring,
In this gloomy place.
Tears,
Flowing,
Escaping,
Falling,
Down my face.
Casket,
Descending,
Lowering,
Plunging,
Deep into the ground.
Family,
Praying,
Comforting,
Gathering,
Close around.
Minds,
Questioning,
Wondering,
Asking,
Why?
People,
Thinking,
Hoping,
Wishing,
He were still alive.
God,
Understanding,
Recognizing,
Knowing,
This was best.
Angels,
Laughing,
Rejoicing,
Welcoming,
