It is okay to grieve
Okay to be angry, or even both.
But you must know,
That he didn’t leave.

He is forever a part of you,
A part of your heart.
The memories you have of him,
If you allow them, will help you to get through.

His memories will be there,
To remind you how he cared.
To tell you anything,
How he would have felt about the situations you will bear.

Although it seems impossible today
To move on through all the tears,
Just remember what you have been through all these years,
It will make you stronger, and show you the way.

We are all so proud of you,
And I’m sure your father would be too
Keep moving on the path that you are on
And great things will happen for you.
