one year ago...

God saw you getting tired and
A cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, “Come with me.”
With tearful eyes I watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although I loved you dearly,
I could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke my heart to prove to me,
He only takes the best.

It is so hard to believe it has been a whole year since my dad passed away. I find myself thinking of him alot lately. So many people would often tell me how lucky I was to have such a great man for a father. I guess I never really realized how truly blessed I was until he was gone. But, I will always be thankful for him teaching me the value of work and the importance of family. Nothing was more important to him than his family. But, most importantly, he showed me love. He would have done anything for anyone. He always was my biggest fan. I love and miss him so much, but am thankful that he is not suffering any longer.
