A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss,A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.An empty house, An empty chair,A fathers love, No longer there.A broken heart, Tear filled eye,Another soul to fill the sky.Many memories in my mind,Some I laugh, Some I cry.
The times we shared, The laughs we had,Things I miss when I think of you Dad.Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,Only memories, Of what once was you.Missing your laugh, I will never again hear.That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.No more smile on your face,No more warmth of your embrace.
The last hug, The last kiss,The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish...To have you Dad, here today,Never to leave your Daughter this way.A Father's touch, A Daddy's kiss,A grieving Daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED!
Have you ever noticed the many mixed-up Emotions involved in grieving? On the one hand you feel restless.On the other hand. You feel likeYou don’t want to move at all.
You feel desperately alone,And yet you don’t want anyone around.You feel scatterbrained, forgetful,And yet, frantically meticulous.You feel like crying at nothing.And sometimes laughing at anything.Being in a crowd of people is fineAs long as they don’t talk to you.And yet, if they don’t talk to youYou feel as if nobody cares.
You want so desperately for someoneTo mention your loved one,To remember the life that was.And yet it can make you furious ifAll they want to talk about is the dead one,And never mention the living ones.Grief settles over you like a hot blanket.You’re as cold as the winter snow.Grief presses on you like a steam roller.
You’re floating in a bubble above yourself.Grief boxes you in on four sides and introduces youTo a pain no one should have to know.But then, once again, you begin to feel compassion.You relate to other people who have had An experience similar to your own.And eventually, with a light as sharp as a sunburst,You hear yourself saying your loved one’s nameWith an unfamiliar smile on your face.You remember some of the funny times,And feel laughter building in your throat.
One morning you notice the sun is shining,The flowers are bursting with the colors of spring.Three seasons have passed unnoticed.....And, somehow, you are still here.Even though your loved one is still there.You feel your heart swell with a love You never even knew could exist.And you find a place in your lifeFor something called,Peace.........?
And then, ever so gently, the memoriesEnfold you in a warmth as soothing asA cool shower on a hot summer day,So you find you want to remember.And tender memories of love lift youTo unreachable heights,To the brightest of stars,To the loveliest touch of your father.

Hi Cindy.
Now that I am done weeping, I will tell you that the site is amazing.
Extremely well done.
The evidence is in the feeling that Chuck and I looked it over top to bottom are are in agreement that we now feel as though we know your Dad and what he was all about.
Obviously, a very special man.
Oh, and one other thing....it is also obvious that you are a pretty amazing daughter as well.
Nice job. It must be nice to have this site to go to when you want to spend some 'quality time' with your Dad.
Congrat's on a job very well done.
Tim (and my room-mate, Chuck)
Ian forwarded your blog on to me and I read it. It's lovely. I think of you often and I always pray for you, for strength in the days ahead as you adjust to this enormous loss. I cannot tell you how sorry I am.
Lots of love.

Wow, that is so beautiful! Although I never met you Father, after reading that I feel like I knew him and you've shown me what a truly wonderful man he was. You are very fortunate and blessed to have had such a terrific father and I understand how devasted you and your family must be with the loss.

This is a great idea what you have done I am sure he looks down on you everyday. What you had said about not being Daddy's Little girl anymore brought tears to my eyes as you know he will never forget you.
