I love my Daddy very much. I will always miss him. The day he died it's like a piece of me died with him. I wrote a poem for my Dad a few days after he died.....
*Daddy*
Daddy is with the angels now,
and I often wonder how.
Daddy loved us all,
and picked us up when we would fall.
Daddy was always by our side,
and would never hide.
Daddy is always in our heart,
and we will never part.
Daddy we will miss you,
and we all love you too.
Here is something that most people don't know.. my dad's favorite NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt and him have the same birthday.
Thank you Carolina Angel for sponsoring my Dad's memorial page.
