Dad was shining his light upon me today
Feeling very sad since you went away
I looked to the sky, hoping for a sign
The suns rays were shining through oh so bright
I smile and said “I love you dad”
Took a picture, I was so glad
Glad to know he was listening to me
Thinking of me
Loving me
I miss you more then words can say
But I know your watching over me everyday....

The time has come to close your eyes
We said our I love yous and said our goodbyes
It's time to relax and let the feelings go
Don't worry about us, were stronger then you know.

It's time to see the light, and feel gods touch
It's in gods hands now, but please know we will miss you so much.

Your lifeless body laying there, the silence was dark
The chill grew colder, the time passed by
The wait was over, it was time for goodbye
We surrounded your bedside, we prayed and sang
I know you heard us, and still to this day
The silence is now broken but the chill is still cold
Well be ok, I'm sure you know

I hope your watching over me each and everyday because I know your still with me in some way
I look to the sky and I know your still there...

You will always be my "Papa Bear."
I wrote this right after my dad passed away 4 years ago today.

Break down the walls and try to let go, its the best thing for you to say goodbye not hello...

If your scared to take that step forward in life...
Put your feet together
Take a deep breath
Acknowledge how far you have come
Thank God for all you have accomplished
Then, and only then, will you be ready to embark onto your next chapter in your life

The oceans waves flow back and forth never to repeat the same path or pattern
We are all so wrapped up in repeating life's patterns never to acknowledge oneself
Underneath the oceans waves is a great way of thinking about life
As much as the life above the water, there is a whole world to explore underground
Take a step back
Explore a different pattern and walk of life
Sometimes you make it to the top
Sometimes you hang toward the bottom
Either way you keep pushing through the current dodging obstacles that will pull you under
At last one day you float to the sand and see a whole different perspective called life...

For countless days, weeks and months
You are away, but we are all ok
Knowing you’ll be back soon one day
We are all so proud that your following your dreams
Doing what you love, watching you succeed
Yes, I am lonely, but our boys need me to be strong
Your always on my mind and in my heart where you belong
The saying goes “ distance apart makes the heart grow stronger”
I count the minutes to see you, I can’t take it any longer
You make my heart melt, put a smile on my face
I thank God everyday for giving my grace
Grace to be humble
Grace to be strong
Grace for putting us together
Grace for our boys
Grace for our love
Putting us in the right place
Right where we belong
I love you more then you know
What can I say
I proud of you each and everyday!
I wrote this for a friend who’s husband is in the military and she’s raised their boys by herself.
