  12. cutepea's avatar cutepea

    I know this is more than 15 words I just wanted to print it!

    The day you died
    Our hearts split into
    One side was filled
    with memories
    the other died with you.

    We often lay wake at night
    When the world
    is fast asleep,
    And take a walk down
    Memory Lane
    With tears upon
    our Cheeks.

    Remembering you is easy,
    we do it everyday
    But missing you is a
    Heartache
    That never goes away.

    We hold you tightly within ,
    our hearts
    And there you will remain
    Life has gone on without you
    But it will never
    be the same!
    In memory of “My Dad” George King-he passed September 11th, 2006

    A Dad is a best friend God gave you.

    A Daddy is the first man a little girl falls in love with.

    I always feel safe with Daddy’s arms around me.

    Father is another word for hero.

    A Father’s Love is Forever.

    I appreciate your bravery in serving our country.
    What a handyman you are.
    Anyone can be a father, you are a dad.
    Thanks for helping me believe in myself!
    Because of you, I am a kinder and gentler person.
    In the music of my life, you are a symphony.
    Thanks for so many happy memories.

    Enjoy your special day, no one deserves it more…I love you! Happy Father’s Day!

    Dad, I am me, not because you said I love you–because you showed it.

    Anyone can say I love you, but your time is the biggest gift of all.

    Time with you, dad, is time well spent on learning to be just like you!

    Dad, your patience, persistence and dedication demonstrate what it takes to be a loving father.

    Dad, I love and miss you always…you will always be a part of me.

    You’re a dad to me, and I am so thankful you are in my life.

    Dad, you deserve a holiday of your own.

    Dad, I love you no matter what!

    Dad, enjoy a special holiday just for you.
