Your Day
Dad the night before I sat like a shadow looking down at you wishing you would wake up and nothing would be wrong. you lied there so peaceful and me wondering what you were thinking, if you were in pain, or if you could even hear me whispering in your ear " I Love You Dad"
That next morning I woke up went into your room wished you a good morning told you today Is November 8th 2010 on a Monday. Th...e bird starting singing so loud for you to hear him, It was so beautiful, It was like he was telling you good bye John, at that very moment I knew today was your day. It was just you and I In the house, Wanda and Uncle Jeff were gone doing their things and Aimee, Tim and Jeff were still sleeping. Me I was just looking at you with tears running down my face. I sat beside you and whispered into your ear
"Dad I Love You, we all love you and we will all miss you so much.
God Is waiting for you, today is your day Dad don't be afraid your kids will be fine without you, you have taught us to be strong"
I kissed you good bye and said
"I LOVE YOU DAD THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT DAD AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE ME... YOU ARE MY BUTTERFLY"
(Only you understood me dad)
Then I went into the living room and started vacuuming, don't ask me why I did that; in my mind I just wanted everything to be fine but I knew you were gonna go that day. Then Aimee finally came In to see you and she yelled to me to get in the room I saw you trying to fight to stay, then I ran to go get Tim and Jeff and the five of us were all together one last time. Tim and Jeff at your feet me lying in your arm and Aimee In the other arm, one last time you will ever hold us, one last time we will see you, one last time we will smell you, one last time we will all be together..
Your lying there fighting so hard and us telling you we love you dad we will miss you so much, thank you for being our FATHER, then you raised your hand and waved to us good bye, and took that one last breath.. Us four kids weeping so hard, watching you die right before our eyes, but there was happiness and sadness that morning, knowing you were finally in heaven and not in pain was such a great feeling but to know we will never see you again was just heart broken..
Dad you have touched so many people, helped so many and loved so many, you were a great Father and did your best to raise us, you always made things look fine when really things were not but us kids we were always happy it was like we didn't have a worry in our bones.
