(Max White, 12/13/28-12/14/97)
In your shadow I found shelter.
It was always safe and warm there.
And you kept your wings unfurled
To shield me from all the bad stuff
Children should never have to endure!
An amazing father, you were my hero!
I persistently sought your wisdom
And with patience and love
You answered all my questions.
Whenever I tripped on life’s crooked path
All I had to do was look up…
And there you were, with open arms.
No matter how many times I failed
You only saw my accomplishments!
I never had to live up to expectations
My happiness was all that mattered to you!
The world is not the same without you, Dad,
But with every moment that passes
I see more of you in me, and I know
Even death wasn’t able to separate us!
I still have questions, Dad,
But when I seek your wisdom these days,
All I have to do is look inside my heart
And the answers are there with you.

Yet, not just me, whilst asleep i have dreams about him where his presence is one of uplifting reassurance, and i wake up feeling light hearted. many of my family, including mum are saying similar things.
Yet I still reach for the phone to ask him for his advice before I remember.
Thanks for this. xx

Truly heartfelt, Annabel. We are extremely fortunate when we have fathers we can look up to, and I, like you, miss mine so very much.
Your relationship was and is so beautiful, Anna, and with his protection and kindness it's no wonder you have such heart and great strength of character!
Love,
Christine
