This page is dedicated to my Dad
who passed away on December 10, 1996.

I love and miss you so much.
You will always be in my heart

I would like to think the
little girl below is me
Daddy's Little Girl
because I know I will alway's
be that little girl to him

I found this poem below quiet sometime ago
I don't know who the author is
If you know who wrote it,
I would like to give the credit to whom
it belongs to.

Forever In My Heart!!
I remember your face
I remember your smile
I remember your laugh
I remember your tenderness
I remember how you protected me
and I know you still do..
You've been with God for
quiet some time.
But the years will never
let me forget.
I will always remember you
Forever In My Heart!!!

GOD'S GARDEN
God looked around his garden.
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the Earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's Garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffering,
He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
get well on Earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough.
And the hills were hard to climb,
So he closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you.
The day God called you home...

If tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see
If the sun should rise, and find your eyes all
filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today, while thinking of the many
things we didn't get to say. I know how much you care for me,
and how much I care for me, and how much I care for you,
and each time you think of me. I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above, and
that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad. I thought of all the love
we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday,
I thought, just for awhile, I'd say goodbye and hug you
and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized
that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would
take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things,
that I'd miss, come tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gate,
I felt so much at home. When God looked down
and smiled at me, from His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you".
Today your life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
And you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free.
So won't you come, and take my hand
and share my life with me? So if tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me,
please know I'm in your heart.

I found this poem from a page whom
she had lost her father also
I want to share it with you.
The Pain Within

Someone you love has gone away,
There's very little I can say,
To remove the sadness that you feel,
But, somehow, time will help you heal.
The pain that pierces through your heart,
Will ease, and you'll begin to start,
To somehow live your life again,
Though memories will remain within.
A stronger person now you'll be,
When others look at you, they'll see,
Someone who's different than before,
Because you've experienced so much more.
If in love or death, you've lost someone,
From the pain, try not to run.
Give your heart time to mend,
Soon you'll begin to live again.
