Death by Semi Truck Accident

My strength, my courage, my protector, my idol, my knowledge, my abandonment. My Daddy, May he rest
in peace and be my angel today and always forever more. Rest in Peace Daddy, We love you and miss
you.

I was only 8 when you went away. I knew you were dead, without a word from anyone. The minute, I saw
your family walking down the stairs of my girl scout meeting. I started to cry already knowing the
news before being told.I cried that day and continue to cry for you still. I missed my fathers love
at a time I when I needed it the mos, as I was growing into a young woman. I believe you would be
proud of what I have done and continue to do in my years here on earth. I also think I might have
disappointed you a time or two or three. I'am sorry daddy if I ever have, It wasn't meant to be,
just me rebellin for your death. You said you "would be back for me." Those were the last words I
heard you say, as you took me to air my bike tire. I wanted to go with you that day and I saw your
heart break when you said "not now honey, I'll be back for you soon." I believed you would have, and
I was planning on spending my childhood with you, in New York. You never came back for me. You left
me here, all alone, to face the years of trouble and agony without my fathers love, advice and
guidance. I am thankful for our eight years together. You did teach me alot about myself and I am
the woman I am today because of those first eight years with you. Yet, I believe you are in a better
place. Daddy now when I really need you the most in my entire life, I have been abandoned by
another, he also said "I'll be back in 1 hour." He never came back instead he shot himself and now I
must be even stronger than before to face this harsh world once more all alone.
Daddy I know you are safe in heaven and I know you would have came back if not for your accident. I
really hate life at times it seems so hard and the more I try to do the right thing and be the right
person the harder it seems to get. I am totally my daddys girl, I realize that. I also know also
that you and Steve are together in heaven and and I know you like him because I loved him with all
my heart and daddy we were going to be married.
I just miss you each and every day. Growing up without a father is one of the hardest I have had to
face. Growing up without your soul mate is just as hard, if not harder for me now. I know I'll be
okay and I'll get through it and thats all because of your strength as a father guiding me in my
first eight years. I am depending on your angels now to get me stronger and keep me going. Until one
day daddy I am strong enough to do it by myself once more. I love you and I miss you sadly each and
every day. Please Rest In Peace Daddy, knowing that I always believed in you and always will. You
have always been the most special person in my life and I am who I am today because of the short
time we had together on earth before God called you home because he needed you more in heaven than I
needed you here on earth. Daddy know that the other kids need you too more than I do because in our
own ways we have each been hurting a long time. Keep us all safe and away from any harm. Even mom
dad needs your loving angels to protect her from her hurts. In Loving memory Your daughter Robin

10,000 Angels- Lynn Cooper

(Verse 1)
I know you're hurting,
I can see it in your eyes.
There's nothing I can say or do
to ease your heart or mind,
But there's someone you can talk to,
He'll come and ease your pain.
He knows your every thought and prayer,
Just call upon His name.

(Chorus)
May He send ten thousand angels strong
To comfort you and guide you through this storm.
May He send ten thousand angels strong
To strengthen you, and guide you through this storm.

(Verse 2)
He understands the broken heart,
The suffering of the soul,
And in this crazy stormy night,
Yes, God is in control.
So let Him take this cross for you.
Your burdens He'll make light,
And to the top of Calvary's hill
Your fears be released tonight.

(Repeat Chorus)
May He send ten thousand angels strong
To comfort you and guide you through this storm.
May He send ten thousand angels strong
To strengthen you, and guide you through this storm.

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

A Bend In The Road

♥ღ♥ When we feel we have nothing left to give
and we are sure that the song has ended,
When our day seems over and the shadows fall
and the darkness of night has descended,
Where can we go to find the strength
to valiantly keep on trying?
Where can we find the hand that will dry
the tears that the heart is crying?

There's but one place to go and that is to God,
and dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problems without restraint
and gain strength with Him at our side.
And together we stand at life's crossroads
and view what we think is the end.

But God has a much bigger vision,
and He tells us it's only a bend,
For the road goes on and is smoother,
and the pause in the song is a rest,
And the part that's unsung and unfinished
is the sweetest and richest and best.

So rest and relax and grow stronger
let go and let God share your load.
Your work is not finished or ended
you've just come to a bend in the road ♥ღ♥

my rock

Sometimes I catch myself my rock my rock Sometimes I catch myself
Thinking, "When I phone,
I can talk of this or that!"
Then remember, I'm alone

you was always there
To answer my calls -
To listen to my "small talk"
Or when I climbed the walls.

At times, I didn't feel like talking
And somehow, you understood -
you Didn't say you wished I'd call
Or make me feel like I should.

Now, I wish I would have
More times, to show I cared -
To say, just how important
Were, all those times we shared.

I could have shown my love
So much more than I did -
I never, did it enough
Even when I was a kid.

Now it's too late to do or say
All those things I wish I had -
No way to ease the pain inside
When my heart is sad.

you was my "anchor" to this life -
The "rock", that I clung to -
The place, where I could turn
When, nowhere else would do.
Now, the ravages of time
Have worn my "rock" away -
And all I have to cling to
Are memories of yesterday.

So Scared, Yet it seems so perfect

Daddy, I don't know what to do? I think I do, yet, I am just scared. My heart just can't take much more. Why is it so important that we protect our heart from hurting again and in the process hurt the one we love the most.? Daddy tell Rich, Steve and Jim I said Hi. I miss them. The four of you have made me who I am today. There's not a day nor minute that I don't think of you guys and wish you were all still here. I miss you.

Wen Can't Believe Your Gone

Dad, our sadness knows no end;
We can’t believe you’re gone;
We’re grieving for you every day;
It’s hard to carry on.


You were always there to support and care,
When we needed a true friend,
How we’ll ever do without our dad,
We cannot comprehend.


You were our teacher and our guide,
Our dad, so good and strong;
Your example will sustain us now,
And last our whole lives long.


We’re trying to communicate;
We hope that you can hear;
Expressing what we feel for you,
Helps us feel you’re near.


Our memories of the times we had
Help the pain to go away.
But Dad, our lives won’t be the same;
We’ll miss you every day.


A part of us went with you;
You left a gap too big to fill;
You’re our father and our hero;
We love you and we always will.

For my Brother- Roger

First Class Father
Dad, I'm blessed to be your son
I knew it from the start.
You're a first-class father;
You're loving, kind, and smart.


You show me how to be a man
You help me, guide me, along the way.
You're strong, and yet you're gentle, too.
I hope I'm just like you, someday!

Everything Dad

A little girl needs her daddy
To love her with manly charm,
To soothe her when she’s hurt,
And keep her safe from harm.


A girl needs her dad
To show her a man who’s good,
To help her make right choices,
As only a father could.


A woman needs her father
Just to be aware,
He’ll always be there for her
To sustain her and to care.


You’ve been all these things, Dad.
I hope that you can see
How much I treasure you;
You mean everything to me.

If heaven had a phone

I Cannot dial your Number,
I Can't get through to You,
I Called the Operator,
She did all that she could Do.

There is no code for Heaven,
I Cannot place the Call,
No Numbers left to Call,
I Reckon I've tried them All.

If Heaven had a Phone,
I'd Ring you Every Day,
If Heaven had a Phone,
There's things I want to Say.

To Tell you that I love You,
And Miss you Every Day,
How much I prayed to God,
That He could have let you Stay,
but heaven dont have a phone,
so in our hearts you will always stay.
