Dear Dad,
I Remember The Day I Got That Dreadful Call
You Were Gone, Waiting For Your Children To Come Release You From It All
No More Illness, No More Struggle, No More Pain
You Had Left Instructions That In A Coma You Did Not Wish To Remain
As I Gazed At You Laying There Asleep In That Hospital Bed
All The Machines That Were Allowing You To Take Your Next Breath
I Held Your Hand And Whispered, I'm Only 32 Dad, I'm Not Ready For You To Go Yet
All The While Hearing Your Voice Telling Me To Let You Go, Inside My Head
When They Turned Off The Machines, I Couldn't Stay
I Went Outside And Sat With The Boys And Quietly Prayed
I Prayed You Were Being Greeted By All Your Loved Ones Who Had Passed On
That You Were Healthy And Whole And Not Wandering Around Lost
All I Could Think Was That You Were Really Gone
I Had No Clue How I Was Going To Heal, Much Less Move On
A Little Girls Broken Heart Beat Painfully Inside My Chest
How Could I Say Goodbye To You, How Could I Lay You To Rest
It's Been Nine Years Now Since You Passed Away
I Think Of You And I Miss You Every Single Day
You Have A Great Grandson, Given To Us From Lace
Alicia Lives In Ann Arbor Now And Is Engaged
Mike And I Are Still Together, As I Know You Wanted Us To Be
We Turned To Jesus And Every Day We Try To Live A Life That Is Godly
I Know You Visit Me In My Dreams And I Know That You Watch Over Me
I Just Wanted To Tell You That I Miss You, And I Love You Daddy
