In Loving Memory

Of My Daddy

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our heart and we are never, ever the same."

This is my Daddy

Also Known As "POPPY"

My daddy was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday July 6, 1999. My mom took him to emergency they said he had pnemonia.
We do not feel he did. He had been complaining about his chest.
I went to see him Wednesday night he was fine he was his normal self laughing, joking, flirting. When I was leaving I said daddy I will be back to see you tomorrow night. He said well Punkin I am going home tomorrow. I said okay I will come to the house to see you then. He got out of bed and walked me to his hospital door and hugged me and kissed me goodbye. I NEVER in my wildest thoughts that would be the last time I would see my daddy alive.
Thursday morning I talked with my sister she was at the hospital she said all was okay that daddy was aggitated but okay. Two hours later my mom called and said the Dr. had come out and asked my moms feelings about life support. He said I need to know because if the time comes there is not enough time to ask. We all wondered WHY are they asking this my daddy is fine. An hour later my daddy was having alot of problems. He died before I could get to the hospital. He died of congestive heart failure. I could not believe it. He was fine when I left him last night. He said he was going home today, little did I know he was going HOME. He went to his heavenly home where he is now with his Son and his Granddaughter and all his family that has went on before him.
My daddy shall be greatly missed he was a one of a kind of man for sure. He never met a stranger and made everyone feel so special.

Daddy I Love you and shall miss you forever....

God saw you getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you, And whispered, "Come With Me", We watched you suffer, And we saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay, A golden heart stopped beating, Hard breathing finally at rest, God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best; It's lonesome here without you, We miss you more each day, Life doesn't seem the same, Since you've gone away; When days are sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you finally whisper, "Cheer Up Carry On." Each time we see your picture; You seem to smile and say, "Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping, We'll meet again some day."
