    Godspeed, Daddy.

    My daddy passed away on Saturday. He was 82 years old.

    I don't know what will ever fill the hole he left in our lives, and in my heart.

    He was the most plainly decent man one could ever hope to meet. The world has lost a great man.

    I don't know how you go on without a daddy.

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Rest in peace, dear man.

    As a daughter you'll go on, as we survivors do
    As love is never lost, but lives on.
    In every gesture you learned from him
    In every inflection that you unknowingly adopted
    In certain feature, or looks that you inherited
    A certain curve of jaw, or cowlick you battle
    And in every decent, kind moment
    Part of him lives on in you
    And through you, in lives of others
    People die, but love never does
    It lives on, as we do,
    And the universe is a better place for it.

    Sorry to hear about your dad. I know it will be hard, I understand what you said about going on without a daddy, my dad has been gone 10 years and I still miss him. My prayers are with you, and your son.

    Hugs,
    Willie

    I am hear to listen and talk if you need anything - my ear is here.

    {{{hugs}}} I lost my dad 12 years ago.

    As time went by, I wondered how I would answer the question, "Does it ever get better?"

    I thought, and came up with, "No - but it gets different, and in that way it gets better."

    In that first photo I can see a twinkle in his eye! Am I right in thinking he liked to clown a bit?

    My sympathies in your loss...may wonderful memories bring you peace.

    Gosh, its almost been one year since my dad passed away, and everyday I ask myself "How have I survived this far without him? Without that big bear hug he gave me every day before he went to work?" I haven't found the answer exactly, but I do know it gets a bit easier after time passes... that is when you truly begin to cherish those memories and can smile again.

    Your father looked, and sounded, like a wonderful man. This world will miss him.

    You and your whole family will be in my thoughts. Good, healing vibes headed out for you all.

    ((((hugs))))
