My dad

Portraits of my father scattered here and there in my home...memories of times gone by.

Mostly good times with my dad. Looking back now it almost seems like a dream. I was only seven years old when he passed away.

I did not even know the concept of death till he left us......and when I realized that he would never be coming back my world was shattered.

If I could talk to him now I would say thank you for believing in me, thank you for having faith in me and most of all thank you for showing me what it means to be a role model.....I love you dad teddybear

What would you say to a loved one you miss if given the chance?

For My Daughter
by Marvin Rabinovitch

Before the natal waterslide
Immersed you in the pool of birth,
I dreamed your pageant on this earth
As cherub, tomboy, scholar, bride.

My heart's your plaything, woman child,
Your windup toy, your music box -
For of its massive, steel-bolt locks
The combinations have you dialed.

And even when you most annoy,
I can't help smiling at your nerve;
As if the impudence you serve
Adds tartness to my dish of joy.
Just being a 17 year old smartass when he died I have thousands of things I"d like to say and ask !! Since I don"t have that chance I try to be the best father and grandfather I can be to honor his memory !! Thank you for one of the best blogs I"ve ever seen on here , your dad would be proud !!teddybear
I was 14yrs when my father left us, we were very close
terbear,
Strange as it may seem your poem means a lot to me....thank you so muchhug

iowa,
Thank you and just like you I try to do the same in honor of my father's memory. Its not easy and I will never be what he was but I try to follow in his exampleteddybear

hug very beautiful. I was a daddy's girl and lost him in '02 and thought I couldn't go on without him. But his legacy still lives on within me. Big hugs to you my friend.
Hello Dear Lana!
