Aug. 11, 1957 ~ Dec. 2, 2012
Time passes by so quickly,
Guess we thought you'd be
here forever.
We never had a chance to
say goodbye,
Many things we wanted to tell you.
Can you hear us when we
whisper to you?
Every night we dream of you hugging us.
It always leaves us feeling helpless.
Do you know how much we'd love to be with you?
All that we took for granted,
Cause we never said some things that we meant to.
Can you hear us when we
whisper to you?
I miss you my Love,
We miss you Daddy
