Happy Birthday in heaven, Daddy (June 9)

Heaven is celebrating your birthday today, Daddy. I Love you forever!

Here is a poem I wrote for you, on June 9, 2001, 22 days after you passed away.

I wish I were there, to tell you how much I care
I wish I'd seen your face one last time in earthly space.

I keep thinking you are still there, sitting in your wheelchair
Waiting for my call only to realize you'll not answer at all.

For you have gone to a place, where there is beauty and peace
Where you have no more tears and sorrows, no more fears of tomorrows.

Say hello to mommy for me, I'm sure she's now very happy
Together you will walk side by side, up there with God to abide.

Goodnight, enjoy God's light, rest awhile if you might
I will dream of you tonight.
