He only takes the best

ummm I felt like I needed to say something from my last post I believe my last post was about my dad and I thought I would finally write and let you know that after my last post my dad lost his life to cancer. It has been very hard for me to express how I felt I really wanted to write something anything. I thought to help me through this and maybe connect with others who has lost a loved one. He was my free bird my inspiration and I loved him more then anyone knew. I write this with a very heavy heart.I never knew that you could actually physical hurt from a broken heart.  The only peace that I have about this is I know he is in heaven and he is no longer in pain. \\

 He Only Takes the Best
God saw that he was getting tired,
A cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him
and whispered, "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer,
And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes "the best".

It has been 2 months since he passed and I remember every night as I try to fall asleep. I just want everyone to know he went fast and suffer very little he also went with his two favorite girls by his side my mom and I.

Goodbye To My Dad
Goodbye Dad, I had to say
A few months ago on a cold winter day
I’ll remember the good times and try not to be sad
But saying goodbye still hurts so bad
I miss you more then I can express
My love for you will never grow less
I keep trying to imagine how I will go on
I realize tomorrow is another dawn
I know you’re in heaven above
Looking down on us with all your love
Only to whisper in our ear
Remember that I’ll never stopped loving you dear
I’ll always remember the good times we had
Remember the man, my wonderful Dad
I’ll remember you each and every day
And if I need to talk to you, I’ll just sit down and pray
One day we’ll be together again
To talk about all the places we been
Until the time I’ll always treasure
Having you for a Dad was such a great pleasure

     I want him to be remembered as a strong man that loved everyone he met his never judged and I love that about him doesn't matter where u came from or what u looked like he accepted and I can only hope that I am the same as my dad in those precious parts of him. I am so thankful for my dad teaching me not to judge its has gave  me a heart for people who struggle with addiction and also our Veterans.
I also don't wanna let my dad down and I wanna live for God like he always wrote in my letters and I wanna live my life to the fullest like he said...... he also said to give my mom a hard time lol in which i am very good at ha...
I will now continue my blog with my crafts and life experiences but we will never forget my Dad!

The Final Flight
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the end of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
