One year ago today you slipped away from me and took your last breath we could barely here. Never, have I, ever seen someone go so peacefully; My Dad my hero.
My last words to you where: "You can go now, we're all here, the lord is waiting for you". I also said to you, "Dad let me know when you get there, and you did".
After I washed and dressed you, for them to take you away, we all said our goodbyes, one by one. Then bang! we could hardly believe our ears, we all stood in amazement when your hyme started to play on the radio as the undertakers arrived, the very hyme you kept insisting on to be played at your funeral. You where barely gone and you gave us that sign to let us know there is an afterlife. It wasn't any old hyme, it was a hyme that you loved: 'How great thou art'.
We all started to sing along, realizing that you had already arrived at your makers gates.
I hope you are at peace now, even though you can see my stresses and strains. "I will be ok Dad, don't worry about me, I will be ok, as you told me to be just like you. I am sorry for all the tears i cry, even though they're for you. I can't help it dad my heart is broken, it's split into two. Today we're going to celabrate your life in a quiet way. We'll all be there (well the ones that matter anyway), at your grave to see you.. lets just see what signs you give us this time to let us know your ok. I can't believe it's a year, as it feels like yesterday. We all have comfort that we layed you with your dad, as we knew you missed him so very much, since the day he slipped away.
Love you Daddy xxxx .
