Dad, in loving memory.
The moment that you left, my heart split in two. One side was filled with memories, the other went with you.
Sometimes I still can't believe you're gone. And I miss you every day.
No words can ever say how much I miss you. My heart still aches with sadness, and many tears still flow. How much it meant to lose you, no-one will ever know.
I am constantly aware of your absence. I'll always remember your special smile, your caring heart and your warm embrace.
I thought of you today but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and the days before that too. I think of you in silence, yet I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part. Those memories are tucked away safe inside my heart.
Remembering you is easy and I do it every day -- but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I wish for one last chance that I could get to hug you. Then I would hold you ever so tight and never let you go.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you are forever there: you hold a place no one can ever fill. I love you so, Dad, and I always, always will.
I miss you as much today as I did the day you died. We may be separated by death, but are held together by LOVE. There are no good byes for us, for in my heart you're always there.
