I was trying to figure out what I could say about my dad and how to put it
this is what I came up with
What is a bond between a father and his daughter?
That is what dad and I had
We had such a special relationship that no one could ever break.
In his eyes I could do no wrong
I was and still am his little girl.
He was there for me whenever I needed him to be.
Times that I needed to crawl, swim, talk, laugh, cry or
just get the loving hug.
We had such great times together, going on roller coaster that turned upside down and
in circles and hearing dad yelling all over the park.
He would go on any ride
just to keep me happy.
He never liked make-up or my new nails, but he told me when I turned 16 years old he would take me to get my
ears pierced and he did just that.
Dad was always busy and on the go, he was always ready to take a trip
somewhere.
We had such great times as a family, going on vacations and watching dad row a boat in circles, rescuing the
dog from under the dock, sleeping in the car for
not behaving at Aunt Jeans and than having a lovely breakfast the next
morning.
Dinner times were special when we would sit around the table and talk even if
there were times that dad left.
Listening to dad play music and sing, even making up his own words.
We had such great Christmas and the perfect egg and bacon breakfast ever.
Some day I will get the bacon right dad.
We also had fun with dad like doing April fools jokes on him and he would fall for it. Even trying to kill a plastic
bug.
He was a very good bug killer with the real
ones too.
He would believe anything Jeff said even If no one did come to dinner and the
phone never did ring.
Even over his yelling and grumpiness he loved us and would do anything for us, never bothered me when he was
yelling I would just say dad its ok I could
handle dad.
He always had a smile on his face and no matter where he went always met
someone he knew.
I can remember on my wedding day we were in the limo
driving down Weber Street and dad rolled down the window and stuck his head out yelling at Pat Murphy
and than proceeded to talk with him on a red light.
Dad loved his family, friends, people, classic cars and talking with everyone is
what he did best.
Even would have taken friends or other family members and make them his
own.
He loved all children and they loved him and he was so happy the day he
became a Papa to Ryan and Allison.
Ryan told me that his favourite memory of his Papa is when they went to the
mall on the bus just the 2 of them and when they went to the car show
downtown.
Allison
told me that her favourite memory of Papa is when they watched movies together and the sleepovers.
They love their Papa and miss him very much.
Dad will live in my heart and the memories
will live forever.
My children
will grow up knowing, remembering and learn more about their Papa
and the
love that everyone felt for him and what he felt for each one of us in this room.
Daddy I will remember your kindness, wonderful heart and the way that you
loved me.
Youre the best father a daughter could ever have.
Goodbye love you, miss you and see you someday over on the other side.
