I found this poem that made me think of my Daddy: If you see my dad in Heaven He won't be hard to find. He'll be the one to greet you first, For he's a one-of-a-kind. He'll be the one with the softest voice, A veteran's cap upon his head, Or he's probably in God's beautiful Garden, with a shovel in his hand. He'll be watching the pretty hummingbirds, A warm smile upon his face, And as he leaves to go about, he'll Be walking with strength and grace. He'll sit among the story tellers, For that's what he does best. He will tell about his life on earth Before he was called to rest. He's with his Mom and Dad now, Embracing them tenderly. Never no longer to miss them or Wonder where they might be. He may be playing with the children, And there sits one upon his knee Laughing and singing the games of fun, Clapping hands so joyfully. Now if you haven't found my Dad yet, He's probably kneeling by the throne, Surrounded by God's angels, Praying for his loved ones below. He wasn't famous in this world Nor did any heroic deeds. He was a strong, hard-working man, Taking care of those in need. For you see, he was my hero, Bigger than big to me. He taught me all a son should know And about the love God has for me. So if you see my Dad in heaven, Tell him I'm doing fine. Let him know how much I miss him, And I think of him most of the time. You know he was my hero, So will you give him a hug or two? Tell him how much I love him and I'll be seeing him someday soon.

In my thoughts every day Dad x

Love Shines Through - Anonymous “Like a shadow in the moonlight Like the whisper of the seas Like the echoes of a melody Just beyond our reach In the shadow of our sorrow Past the whisper of goodbye Love shines through eternity A heartbeat from our eye.”
