These poems are sad and yet beautiful at the same time. I can feel and see every word, the tea parties; your parents waltzing around the house, the walk(s) up the isle, all of it. Very touching.

I see my dad sitting in his easy chair turning the pages to the bible.

When i think of a man close to God, I think of my Grandpa.
Now that he is not here I still talk to him knowing he is with our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ. The Lord is also not with us in body but in Spirit. It comforts me to know my Grandpa was a champion for Christ and that he waits for me to join him in Heaven.

This one made cry, as have been blessed to be around many a Daddy (and grand daddy, Paw Paw in my case who also wanted a boy but had 4 daughters during the depression, WWII and beyond to Elvis), and their daughters of the South, having been born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and its environs. Yep, cornbread and chicken, iced tea and cocola, Just hanging around and sittin' and eatin' watermelon on the front porch with the rest of yunguns.

Loved this one, MJ!

I can feel the love. Some dads used to be so "hands off" with their children. Very, very endearing. Eileen

Amen - My grandfather was more Daddy to me and my siblings. There is nothing more influential in life and nothing more devastating when the course of life takes Daddy home... Thank You for this beautiful tribute.

A true daughter's attribute.

The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,

'After he has died, the believer only gets the benefit of the following actions and good deeds: knowledge which he has taught and passed on, a righteous son he leaves behind, a copy of the Quran which he has bequeathed, a mosque he has built, a house he has built for the traveller, a water channel he has dug, or an act of charity which he spent out of his property when he was alive and in good health and which comes to him after his death.'
