I Miss My Dad

I lost my father to Liver Cancer on June 15, 2001. I buried him on Father's day. He was only 55 and I loved him deeply. Thank you God for giving me the chance to spend the last hours with him and for the opportunity to take care of him when he needed me the most. He was my best friend long time ago and we lost each other due to third parties arguments. Before he died he told me how happy he was because we were friends again. He died in my arms while I sang to him. He had a smile and I know he felt no pain. For most of us Death is something scary and painful. I can truly say that I found beauty and blessings in this experience for now I see life in a different way. I look forward to the day when I meet again with my dad and those who I love. In the meantime, let me share something that brings comfort to me when I miss Dad the most:

In Loving Memory of my Dad

When I come to the end of the day
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared-
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows
In doing good deeds-
Miss me, but let me go.
