Finding faith and peace within these scriptures as my dad passed December 9th 2023 is both comforting but rips me apart in so many ways. I feel like I’m robbed of time we could have had he was to young. As much as I loved, cared and appreciated him you can never show the ones you care about the endless love and journey you would have walked with them even for just 1 more minute. The feeling of guilt that you just didn’t do enough will be haunting. It will never go away. I’m thankful for the time we had and the morals you instilled and the never ending stories you told. But 1 more second, one more day, just a few more years…you still had alot to see, alot more to teach. We always learned from you and somehow no matter what everyday you find a way to come up in conversation. I know your still here, but it will never be the same. Your with us always, love you so much Super Dad.
You were the best father.
Guide Pat, give him strength and discipline he needs right now with his divorce. You were 4 months short of seeing him thrive being a single father taking care of his two kids. Just like you. That’s his main priority. I know you would be proud. I’m getting married in September and I know your thinking about time! 63 years young and so much that I know you wanted to see your kids and grandkids accomplish. The kids clutch the bears I got made with your T-Shirts. When they hold them I know it brings them a little comfort, a bit of relief and they feel your love. Continue to guide us please because I know you would never …ever stop guiding us. Love Ya Daddy
