Title: Bud~A fathers Day tribute~
Post by Ree on Jun 17th, 2005, 7:53am
My dad has taken another turn for the worse.... He is in the ICU and on a respirator again..... I started this poem for fathers day and don't think he will see it....  I thought I would share it with you all.....

I wish you had a Dad like mine
You'd be his princess all the time
He'd never find a single flaw
Regardless of the things he saw.....

I wish you had a Dad like mine
You'd feel so wanted all the time
Though sweethearts come and they may go
You'd be his"sweetheart" that I know...

I wish you had a Dad like mine
You'd feel such loving all the time
And warmth that makes a house a home
I know you'd  never feel alone...

And if you had a Dad like mine...
You would be happy all the time
To know this "angel" without wings,
Feeling all the joy he brings~~~

Its supposed to be in the voice of a little girl and I was going to back it with a picture of us at my First Holy Communion..... Its not a perfect poem or any great work of mine for sure... It needs a little tweeking but I'm getting a little weak in all this....

I'm off to the hospital to sit in the ICU and watch him dream~ I sit and watch him sleep, knowing our days are numbered and that I have to trust and know he is in Gods heart now..... I love you all and again thanks for all the support here....
love to you Ree

Its lovely Ree, Your father is a fighter and so are you and I firmly believe in miracles  [smiley=hug.gif] He has had you worried before and bounced back - I'm not expecting anything less this time either!
You are both in my thoughts every day
lots and lots of love
Helen

If you don't think he'll see it, read it to him. He'll hear you and he'll love it.

I loved it.

Ree, my friend.

You're so blessed to have a dad like him,
Go sit with him when the lights are dim
And treasure every memory
Sit quitely by and let him see

Let him see your love for him
Go sit with him when the lights are dim
Hold his hand and show your love
Remind him of the love above

Tell him it's not yet time to go
that you need him still, he needs to know
So read your lovely poem to him
Go sit with him when the lights are dim.

And there's one more thing that YOU should know:
we're all right here, saying, GO BUD GO!!  

love you, girlie.  :-*

What Pat said.  I loved the poem.  You're a lucky girl to have such a wonderful father.  All my best for Bud and for you.

Tonight I had to give the orders not to perform any drastic measures on my dad.  He is not going to make it guys.... My sons will be coming home.... I need them now.  Thanks for all of your support and love, but  it will take a miracle for sure for him to make his way out of what has happened.... He is reacting allergically to a medication... something he forgot about... He is allergic to Penicillin like me..... well the med they gave him about a week or so ago was a derivative of Penicillin.... This didnt have to happen.... his kidneys are failing etc.

I love you all  ree

Margi I loved your poem too..... thanks....
