Day 4 is dedicated to my Dad.
Dad didn't finish high school and could not read very well BUT he was a very hard working man. He went to work everyday...getting up before the sun ever thought about shining; and sometimes not getting home until after the sun set. Dad taught me that no matter what job you are working you give it a 110% effort.
Dad passed away April 19, 1992 after a long, hard battle with cancer. His final words to me were "I am sorry. I love you. Take care of your brother." The "I am sorry" meant more than I can ever put into words. I accepted his words, told him I loved him and then told him it was time to go. When he took his last breath, he passed peacefully and I too felt at peace.
I miss you Dad.
Beautifully written. I felt the love between you as I read your words. He would be proud of the special woman you've become. What a touching tribute. Thank you for sharing him with us.
