for the only man in my life

"Of all the men in the whole wide world whose praises are sung out loud, there is no man whom I respect more or of whom I am more proud. That is why on this day each year, today we celebrate your life, to the only man in my life who had given me unconditional love this is for you. Daddy, Happy Birthday to you and we all miss you..."

We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories. And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake. With which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart.

When I was a baby, you would hold me in your arms. I felt the love and tenderness, keeping me safe from harm. I would look up into your eyes, and all the love I would see. How did I get so lucky, you were the dad chosen for me. There is something special about a father's love. Seems it was sent to me from someplace up above.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

If I could write a story, it would be the greatest ever told - a kind and loving father, who had a heart of gold. If I could write a million pages but still be unable to say, just how much I love and miss him every single day, I will remember all he taught me. I'm hurt but I won't be sad, because he will send me down the answers and he will always be MY DAD!
