Poem Artwork

What's Heaven like, Daddy?  I don't
know.  Living in Hell on Earth --- I'm
making it, but it's just not the same

without you here.  If you'd lived, we
would be celebrating your 80th in a
week --- something worth having a

party for.  You've been gone two and
a half years now ---- too long.  Happy
Birthday, Daddy.  I love and miss you.

If you could have one present, what
would it be?  Know what I'd wish for.
I'll light a candle on your special day

and carry your memory in my heart,
always --- say 'Hello' to Jesus for
me.  Finding it hard to say myself ...

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (9/22)

It's hard, I know. I miss my mom. She's been gone 3 years last month, now living up high without any more pain and suffering. For that I am grateful. Rebecca

Oh Karla, life can be hell for those who love and have loved.
The price of love is high, but well worth it.
Jesus will/does tell you that. Look what He did for it.

I think your Daddy had two special gifts!!!! xxx

So good that you had your dad as long as you did. It is clear to see from this poem that you loved him very and still miss him.

I can see that you had a very good relationship with your Daddy.
I never really knew mine. He passed away when I was five.
My mother was never the same after that.

You are so lucky to have had him as long as you did.
I shall say a prayer for you and your daddy.
Inspiring poem.

Ciao,
Ragno Donna
