Father’s Day 2017
Today is the day my dad died. 14 years ago. It was one day before my birthday and 2 days after father’s day.
it’s always weird this time of year
that three days coincide.
Father’s Day, The Day I was born,
And the day that you died.
I remember when they told us
you wouldn’t make it through
But I didn’t want you to pass,
On my birthday, yeah it’s true.
they unhooked all those blinking lights
they shut off the machines,
remember you told me once,
You wanted peaceful dreams?
I know you weren’t ready,
I sure wasn’t too.
For you to leave the planet earth
But somehow you just knew.
So dad again I miss you
I still can feel you near.
You’re with me in my thoughts each day.
My dad, you are so dear.
Love ya,
Lara
Father’s Day 2014
wow. 11 years of father’s days.
have passed without you here.
but know dear dad the words you taught,
Still echo in my ear.
I think of all your loving ways,
your imperfections too.
But mainly how you never gave up
And you always followed through.
You always had a zest for life
With all it’s hills and valleys
And when the going started getting rough
Your strength always rallied.
So just know on this Father’s Day
Your philosophies still guide me.
“love what you do, and it’s never work,
your passion sets you free.”
So thank you dad for everything,
for the woman you helped me be.
One tiny thing I wish today,
That you could be here with me.
All my love,
Your lovin’ Lara
Happy Birthday Dearest Dad
Dear Dad,
It’s your birthday,
Not sure what else to say.
I miss you very much every day.
Loving wishes sent your way.
I know this note is kind of brief.
Death stole you from us like a thief
And though I’m no longer mired in grief.
I know you’re here- that’s my belief.
Always thinking about you
For you
With you.
Happy birthday dearest dad.
Your ever lovin’ Lara.
Father’s Day: 10 Years
Dear Dad:
I hardly have the energy,
To post this post today,
You see the winds of time and life
Have blown it all away.
Nothing’s been the same,
Since you went away,
But then again , nothing’s changed
In the daily day to day.
My loss of you is still as strong,
Though I don’t cry much any more,
Just when a song or poem or thought,
Comes charging through the door.
So daddy, I don’t mean to cut this short
But I have some things to do.
I just want to say, short and sweet.
I’ll NEVER stop loving you.
And maybe you’re above,
or maybe just a feeling.
But I sometimes in my heart of hearts,
Feel that everything you’re seeing.
You were the best, still ARE the best,
Happy Father’s day dearest dad.
All my love always,
Lara
