Dear Pappa,

You are Loved, Missed and Always Remembered.

I will always remember how tightly you held my hand as we crossed the street.

I will always remember sitting next to you at family dinner hour.

I will always remember sitting on your lap watching our favorite shows.

I will always remember wanting to bring you a refill of your favorite Kool-Aid drink.

I will always remember going to church every Sunday and the wink in your eye when you saw my Sunday dress.

I will always remember how special you made opening presents on Christmas morning while in our pjs.

I will always remember you sneaking an extra piece of chocolate to me even after mom said ‘no more’ ……. tee hee!

I see you in my dreams, I feel you in the warmth of the sun and I hear you voice at times. You may be gone, yet you are always with me.

Pappa,

My heart beats because of you, my soul is warm because of you. The years may come and go but your memory will never be erased.

As long as I live, you will live,

As long as I live, you will be remembered,

As long as I live, You will be loved.

I hope that when I come to see you again, it’s you opening the gate.

Thank you for being my Pappa, XOXO
