In life so many things happen to people, some we can explain, some we can't. Some people are rude, some are nice, and some are just fake. I understand everyone ask things sometimes just to be nice. I do the same but truthfully some people go really overboard and are way to fake. Life is to short to be fake. This not a dress rehearsal its your life, your only going to live it once! When times get tough is usually when you realize who your true friends are. Their the ones standing right beside you through it all, on the good days and the bad days. This brings me to my point, yes there is a point I am not just bitching to hear myself. My friend Linette who just turned 30 on Monday her Dad passed away that afternoon. We will be attending his funeral today. Linette has been through so much this past year and has had to learn the hard way which individuals in her life are there for her and which ones are not. Just wanted you to know that I love you and you are in our thoughts and prayers. Ryan and I are here for you whenver you need us. Even if its just to come over and us listen to you cry and you eat our food. We still love you!!
Here is a poem Linette wrote for her dad which will be read at the funeral by the priest just wanted to share it.
On August 13, 1977, I was born into this world
That's when I became Daddy's Little Girl
From the first time he set his eyes on me
Together our bond would always be
His pride for me always beaming
His praises for me always singing
His baby forever is how he saw me
A lifetime and eternity that would be
He loved me without any doubt
Gave me anything I wanted, I didn't even have to pout
Always there by my side
With a listening ear to confide
He was such a gentle soul
To his family never cold
So laid back about everything in life
Just enjoyed being there for his children and his wife
His family was his world
That truth be told
He loved us with all his heart
I know he fought hard for us to never part
He was ready on that day
Nothing we could do, nothing we could say
He knew we would be fine
Fading away in a matter of time
I was able to tell him all I could
I know he heard me, I knew he always would
He comforted me through his eyes conveying that it was okay
Let God do what He may
Not a word he spoke
His eyes peering at us with hope
That we would accept God's Will
To take him where there were no more pills
He was weak and tired of holding on
Ready for his journey to his next home
His body and mind were ready to be put at ease
Taken for years from this disease
He left this life on August 13, 2007
To go to his God in Heaven
On my 30th Birthday is when he was called up there
We wouldn't hold him up here, we wouldn't dare
He is where he wants to be
No more suffering for us to see
Never wanting us to be sad
Take God's hand, it's really okay dad
We love you so much
Our hearts you will always touch
Be always by our side
Watching over us through every journey, every ride
Just one more thing to say
I need a favor from you always on my Birthday
Always make the sun shine through
For I will know that the shining sun is You.
ok now I am about to cry. hope everyone makes the best of their day with the things that come your way.
