You have been gone for 28 years but not a day passes that I do not think of you and talk to you.I feel your guidance with me and see your spirit in my children.
I know that you have led people into our lives to take care of Mom, Al and me........I am so grateful for the life I have and I know that you are proud of who we are.
I have so many wonderful, vivid memories of you, but selfishly, I wish I had more.
I wish my children could know you, they share the same creativeness that you have passed on to me.
I wish my husband could know you and not of you.
I wish that you could know Al and I as adults, not children.
I wish many things, but I know that there is a reason for everything that happens in our lives.
Today, you are 58 years old and although I had only 7 years with you as my Dad, I am blessed to have you spiritually connected to me indefinitely.
You are my angel looking over me....this I know.
So today I think of you as I do every day....Happy Birthday Dad!

What a wonderful tribute to your Dad. I'm glad you shared it. I don't know why but I think I thought you were younger when he died. You were seven so you must have some very vivid memories of him. Also I didn't realize how much Al looked like him!
Okay, I'm crying at work.
