When I Think About a Man...

[to_dumb_to_see]

"What I think about a man
who has a deep and quiet soul-
who works for what his family needs,
takes pleasure in his role...

When I think about a man
who's had big challenges to face,
I think about my dadabout his dignity and grace

...when you read this outloud...it took everything I had in me not to break down. He knew how you felt...I'm sure he always did...and he always will <3

That was beautiful.
It's awesome that you told your dad how much you love and respected him. That way, you can go on without regret.

I know that what I say may not make a difference, and that almost no one knows what you're going through...

And I know we're only really aquaintences, but I want you to know that my heart goes out to you. Again, I'm really sorry for your loss

i don't like to say much, simply because i have never gotten the chance to truly get to know your father. but judging by the person that everyone describes him to be, i must say this...you have far more than just an uncanny physical resemblance to him, which i've noticed while taking the time to look at the posters your family made and set up around the funeral home. i guess i've known him through you all along without ever truly having to meet him.
