Remembering a loved one

Remembering a loved one
He was one of the two most influencial people in my life, and one of my two best friends. Two years have passed, since I held your hand, you took your last breath and you found your piece with God. Your struggle with illness and pain never went unnoticed for twenty years with your wife and son by your side. You are sadly missed by family and friends and always will be. You battled with heart disease, pacemaker and defibrilator on your heart, and you required new knees but it was late your heart was too weak. You fought courageously for four years until it was time for you to go be with your daughter, my sister, and my mother at peace. You have been reunited with your wife of fifty years, two months and two days two years on this date, and I know that the three of you are looking down from above. I was truly blessed to have you as a father and best friend. It was my honour to have been able to keep you and mother in our home before you both moved onto your next home. It's get alittle easier each year but never forgotten. Father, you never missed a football game 17 years and were there at the skydome as our team hoisted the Vanier cup, you never a missed basketball or soccer game in 12 years, and when I thought I had failed, you woke me up and made me persue higher education.
I really miss you both, but it gets alittle better daily.

I have our family clan tartans for from Scotland and France with swords intersecting and touching each crest. You are always behind me and we are always together.

Father April 2, 1932-April 8, 2008
Mother September 22, 1931-December 4, 2004

You are a good man HOF. Your parents I am sure are and would continue to be proud of you.
Your parents although not physically are without will always live in within you and when that day comes, one of the certainties of life, you will be reunited with them once again.
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.

Great post. I am going to call my father this afternoon. Thank you for sharing what is really important in life.

HOF, I know it must be a painful reminder today being the anniversary of his passing and I do offer my belated condollences. Your tribute shows just how close and important to each others lives you got. Life is fragile, many of us don't get the chance to be as closed to their father. While it wasn't a long time you can be comforted to know that you had a special bond that made your time together all the more cherished by him. He will always be proud of you.

Hof to lose a parent is painfull to lose both within a 4 year period is devestating. Thank you for reminding me to enjoy and cherish my parents while they are still alive. We tend to take them for granted.
