Our Greatest Hero

Daddy raised me from the age of two
He was the greatest man I ever knew.
He accepted unconditional love
Now he watches over from heaven above.

He did his best to raise us right
He held us when we cried in the night.
He taught us to be strong and kind
Encouraged us to expand our mind.

There were times he had to be tough
And we knew when he'd had enough.
Daddy is an angel now up above
But I still feel his guidance and his love.

We love you daddy, rest in peace
Your love and memories will never cease.
And somehow we hope that you know
That you will always be our greatest hero.

You will always be our rock....

it's made me who I am...

What a beautiful tribute to your loving father Donna.
A very tender write indeed.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

This brought special tears to my eyes, losing a parent myself I know how hard occassions like this are to go through.
This was a wonderful and beautiful tribute to your Dad...

Take care.

My father's love was (and is) of a different kind....but the center of it is the same, only the personalities differ. Easy to see yours did things right, considering the results...
