Lost and Found my Dad........only to lose him again.......

Continued

I am forever grateful to God for letting us find each other and I know that one day we will be together again. Our hearts will be bonded for all eternity!!

I am so very glad that I was able to talk to him daily over the phone the last few weeks of his life. The last week was the hardest, as he was getting worse. Once he was no longer able to speak to me, it broke my heart and I'm sure it broke his. I still talked to him and told him each time how much I loved him and always would. I recited prayers and told him we would be together again someday.

The last time I spoke to him was on December 14th, only hours before he passed away. It gives me comfort in knowing that he heard my last words to him. My sister Debbie said he cried as he listened to my voice over the phone. Although my head is hung low in mourning the loss of my Dad, my heart is filled with much love for him and it gives me a sense that he is not too far away from me. I need to feel this to go on. My father wanted me to have his Anniversary ring upon his passing, saying it meant a lot to him for me to have it. My Dad remarried years ago on my birthday, saying that it was the most special day of his life!

Although we only had these last four short years together, he gave me many wonderful and loving memories to last a lifetime. I love you Dad!! Forever and ever into eternity.......Your loving daughter, Sherri Lynn

Please, let your spirit be with me.....
