remembering appa...

Feb 24th - every year we used to celebrate appa's b-day..till we lost him forever in 2004. It still hurts. They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted YOU. A million times I've needed you, a million times I've cried. If love alone would of saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a piece, that no one could ever fill. Remembering you is easy Dad, I do it every day...and missing you is something that will never go away. You will never be forgotten, A hallow place in my heart is where you will always stay. I love you pa...& I miss you more each day.

A beautiful memory, dearer than gold,
Of a father whose worth can never be told,
There's a place in my heart no one can fill,
I miss you, Dad, and always will.

His nature was loving and giving,
His heart was made of pure gold,
And to us who truly love him,
His memory will never grow old

 We have lost. Heaven has gained,
The most wonderful Dad this world contained,
There's just one thing makes me glad,
God chose you to be my Dad....

We miss his smile, his kindly ways,
With him we spent all happy days;
On him we always could depend.
If only he were here today
Then this to him we could say,
God bless you, Dad, on your birthday.

Missing you pa....always & forever...

As I Walk Through Life...

I've learned-
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned-
that you should always leave
loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned-
that you can keep going long after you can't.

I've learned-
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.

I've learned-
that either you control your
attitude or it controls you.

I've learned-
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I've learned-
that my friends and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.

I've learned-
that sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be
angry, but that doesn't give me
the right to be cruel.

I've learned-
that just because someone doesn't love you the
way you want them to doesn't mean they
don't love you with all they have.

I've learned-
that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once
in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I've learned-
that it isn't always enough to
be forgiven by others,
Sometimes you have to learn
to forgive yourself.

I've learned-
that just because two people argue, it doesn't
mean they don't love each other.

I've learned-
that two people can look at
the exact same thing
and see something totally different.
