In memory…

By Lena Trondson • September 2, 2008

Pappa, this candle is for you… I can’t believe it was one year ago today that you passed away…we truly miss you and your grand-daughter is amazing…I wish you would have had the opportunity to know her…

When you got sick,
You went to lie down,
You ended up in the hospital,
I knew your time was now.
I wanted to help,
But I didn’t know how.
I had no way of knowing, and I wish I could have been there with you.
Each moment was too long.You were ready to die,
To see the people to whom you had once said good-bye.
The sorrow I felt was indescribable,
And the love in my heart was undeniable.
Would you have heard me say good-bye,
When all I wanted to do is cry?
Would I have more peace in my heart,
If I had known how soon we were going to part?
Did you know that I loved you?
Did you know how I felt?
I’ll always love you and miss you.
