A Memory Blanket we had made from my Dad's Shirts!

Its amazing!

No words I write can ever say

How much I miss you every day.

As time goes by, the loneliness grows;

How I miss you, nobody knows!

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name,

But all I have are memories

And photos in a frame.

No one knows my sorrow, No one sees me weep,

But the love I have for you

Is in my heart to keep.

I've never stopped loving you

I'm sure I never will;

Deep inside my heart,

You are with me still.

Heartaches in this world are many

But mine is worse than any.

My heart still aches as I whisper low,

"I need you and I miss you so."

The things we feel so deeply

Are often the hardest to say,

But I just can't keep quiet any more,

So I'll tell you anyway.

There is a place in my heart

That no one else can fill;

I love you so, Dad,

And I always will.
