Memorial Post- 07/02/13


IT WAS FEBRUARY 7TH, JUST OVER A YEAR AGO, WHEN THE LORD CALLED YOU BACK HOME, FOR AS CHRISTIANS, WE ARE JUST BUT VISITORS PASSING THROUGH THIS WORLD. You never said “good bye” You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. Because the day God gave his angels the command to bring back home his son, your days on earth were over and we felt left alone. Tears fell like RAIN; hearts were broken in two.WE STILL LOOK FOR YOUR FACE IN THE CLOUDS, WONDERING IF YOU COULD SEE US NOW, WOULD YOU BE PROUD. WE LOST A DAD, BUT SOMEONE LOST A HUSBAND, A SON, A BROTHER, A GRAND DAD, A FRIEND; WE’RE ALL MISSING OUT.

 You never said “I’m leaving”   Up to now, we cannot find words to justify how much we miss you, we miss been daddy’s girls and boys and the warm love that we shared. You protected us and never even for once let us doubt how much you cared. You were our HERO dad; you filled our hearts with great pride. We thought Heroes lived for ever until the day that you answered the lord’s call.

WE DO EVERYTHING TO FIND ANSWERS, WE’VE ASKED COUNTLESS QUESTIONS BUT GOD’S TIME IS BEST AND HE ALONE HAS ANSWERS. THE LAST YEAR HAS NOT BEEN THE EASIEST FOR ANY OF US, MORE ESPECIALLY FOR OUR MOM, BUT GOD HAS LED US THROUGH IT ALL WITH THE ATMOST GRACE AND USING THOSE VERY VALUES THAT OUR DAD INSTILLED IN US, HE HAS STRENGTHENED US AND BROUGHT US EVEN CLOSER TOGETHER.

 There are no words to tell you just what we feel inside. The shock, the hurt, the anger might gradually subside. A million times we need you, a million times we cry. If love could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place that no one could ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you the day God took you home. Things will never be the same and although it hurts so badly, we will smile whenever we hear your name and be proud you were our dad.

WHEN HE DIED, OUR DAD WAS 58YEARS AND HAD LIVED A WORTH WHILE LIFE. TO US, HE WAS THE VERY EXAMPLE OF HUMILITY, HARDWORK, LOVE, PERSEVERANCE AND GENEROUSITY. HE ALWAYS PUSHED US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, REBUKED US WHEN WE NEEDED IT AND REVEALED TO US WISDOM HE HAD GAINED OVER THE YEARS. HE WAS A MENTOR, A FRIEND, AND A CONFIDANT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, HE WAS A GREAT FATHER. HE MADE TIME, EVEN WHEN HIS WORK DEMANDED HIS ATTENTION THE MOST, TO CHAT WITH US, ENCOURAGE US AND GIVE US ADVICE AND JUST BE THERE FOR US.

We love you always and until God joins us together, you will forever live in our hearts.
