Condolence: Dad,
Thank you so much for the time we got to spend together, you teaching me things I needed and didn't need. We fought, I hated you, I loved you, you gave me the base of emotions I needed in my life to know that at this very time I am missing you more than anything, but am grateful that you are with the Lord. It doesn't feel real yet, I hate that you are gone. I tried my whole life to make you proud of me, sometimes I knew you were, other times I didn't. But now that I am grown, I understand so much that I didn't back then. Now I want to tell you that I am incredibly proud of you and the man that you were, the father, husband, friend, uncle, son, brother,employee....and follower of the lord.... the entire package. I couldnt ask for a better father/role model, you always had everyone's best interest in mind, no matter as to what you wanted or needed. Family first. I love you dad, that will never stop. I don't have to pray that you are with God, I already know you are. I only hope I can be half as good as you so that when my time comes, I can feel confident that I will be by your side (or under your feet ... whatever applies) I don't even have to ask you to watch over us as I know you will do that anyway as is your nature. I love you Dad.
