Daddy Youre Home Now.

Daddy it's been 10 years now,

Since you left my side,

It's been many tears,

Since I seen you last.

I cry alot still,

Even though it's been so long.

I miss you Daddy,

I miss you so much,

Words just can't explain.

I remember looking out the basement window,

At midnight on the 3rd of May, 10 years ago,

I remember seeing the ambulance lights,

I remember you on the stretcher,

I remember the twins yelling at me,

To go back to bed,

I remember crying that night not knowing what was going on.

I remember you Daddy...

I was only almost 6,

But everyone knows, I was your little girl,

I loved our Saturday morning routines,

A drive to the beach strip,

And the bubblegum ice- cream.

I loved going boating, hunting and fishing,

I loved being yours,

I loved it when you took me to Grimbsby,

To ride the horses at uncle Ray's,

And to feed the pigs.

You were such a country man daddy, A cowboy,

When I was just wee little,

I always thought I was going to marry you,

I guess every little girl thinks that,

If she loves her Daddy as much as I loved you.

Sometimes I get so jealous,

Because my friends all have Daddys,

But not me, Not now.

I miss you so much Daddy,

I can't stress that enough,

I know youre in heaven,

Thats where all good people go,

And you were the greatest,

At least to me,

I know that you're someones angel,

Watching over me, Mom, and Ray,

I know you still love us,

And it wasn't your choice to go away.

But Daddy, I really miss you,

And I wish you would have never ever went away,

Things would be so different,

Things would be so great!

But now, Whos going to walk me down the aisle?

Whos going to be there when my babies are born?

Whos going to love me!?

Whos going to hold me like you did...

When the world seemed so unfair,

Whos going to tell me everythings ok,

You won't tell me that,

You can't, And even if you could,

It would'nt be true,

Because nothings ok, When your not here,

With me, by my side,

Daddy I love you,

Noone can ever take your place,

What do you do, When youre Daddy's gone?

And your Daddy's little girl?

I don't know that answer Daddy,

I don't know what to do!

I don't know how to live without you!

I ask God everynight,

To send me a sign, that I'm still on your mind,

And everynight, I feel a soft kiss like sound,

In my left ear, Thats you Daddy,

I know it is, I know youre always here,

But I can't see you, I can't hold you,

I can't tell you I love you,

But you know I do.

I hope this poem reaches you Daddy,

Up through the clouds, into the sky,

Past the golden gates, Into you're sweet strong hands.

If only you could return one Daddy,

But I know youre home now, where we're all ment to be,  

But it's ok, I know you love me,

And I'll love you, forever Daddy,

You're my hero.

No, I didn't have fun reading your message to your Daddy.
I cried in my heart, because I suppose, before long I will write a similar message. I am not a little girl...In fact I am 56. My Daddy will be 90 in a week. He says he is so tired. I worry. My heart breaks. I know, he is telling me it is nearing his time. Hold those memories in your heart, and always daddy will be there with you.
