 Three years have gone by so quickly Since the day you passed away I think about you daily And in my heart is where you lay I take flowers to your graveside And lay them beneath the tree But I know you're not really here For you remain deep inside of me I walk this well known track You once walked along with me This place is surrounded by beauty Stretching far across the sea I walk this path alone now I'm so often deep in thought I follow your words of wisdom So many valuable things you taught My mind is filled with memories Of the treasured times we had My heart is filled with love I still hold for my dear Dad Regrets I have are many But there is one that tears me apart I didn't tell you how much I loved you And how very dear you were to my heart My words are a humble substitute For all the love I feel inside And I hope they're able to reach you Until we are together side by side Suetang |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, I know deep down with all my heart all your words are always reaching him and you will see him again! (sigh) I know how hard it must be to experience such a loss without ever getting to tell him what you desired to, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sue; Because of the close relationship you had with your dad, I'm sure he knew how much you loved him. Betty Lou Hebert |

Hi Sue, nice read, I think even if you would have told him that you loved him, you would not have felt that it was enough, families are bonded by love and he would have known your deepest feelings, be it by a look or gesture, your hello or goodbye. Memories hold together treasures of love, which stay within forever till when we meet above. Nice write Sue Sincerely Rick |

Sue, I am always touched by the freshness of the loss you feel of your father. How truly you have and do continue to love him. It encourages me as I face the inevitables in my life. Bless you for your tender heart and your willingness to share the struggle. A lovely tribute which I never tire of. Thank you.  It's never too late to have a good childhood! Woohoo! |

Sue darling girl now this is superb writing, the flow is divine the love you felt and still feel for your father shines through. As always your writing is utterly utterly wonderful darling girl. You never write anything less than your best and this diamond shines with wondrous joy to my soul. I love it utterly utterly love it   Love and warm stuff As always Slushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
