Seems like yesterday when we last spoke and at the same time an eternity since we last embraced. It's approaching 3 yrs and though that time can pass in a blink of an eye, it sometimes feels like watching the sands of a hour glass.
A lot has happened in that time. Your granddaughter, Halo, that wasn't even conceived when you left us, calls you "papa" when we visit your resting place or when we show her a picture of you. Halo is walking, talking, climbing, swimming, yes swimming, and trying to run the house. She knows that her daddy has a soft spot for her. I can only imagine how you would've melted in her presence.
For the most part life is good. There are those times when the Mack truck of the reality hits me that you really are no longer here with us. That Halo will not get the chance to know you in an earthly form. That I will no longer hear you say "Good Job Boo" or "I'm Proud Of You Son". That Ce will not get the chance to experience you as a father.
Your departure has been life altering, but so was your time here. I just want you to know that you have not been forgotten! I love and miss you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!
This was truly touching and heartfelt.. I know the feeling as I lost my father a year before you and even though each day gets a little easier the pain remains the same.. I'm with ya my friend.. Praying for your strength..
