You once were the strongest man I ever knew…
You took care of us no matter what you had to do…
Three jobs… Working at night …
Whatever it took to make sure we were alright…
Now your memories are slipping away…
I still can’t believe this is happening to you…
Faded memories of me and u…
Sometimes for a second I see a moment of recognition…
I love you Dad, I hope you knew …
I would have done anything for you…
Lived in fear of a day that you would no longer remember me,
hovered over me like a nightmare. I could hardly bear it…
The sadness surrounded my days and crept into my dreams…
Every day you faded away right before my eyes…
You left before I could even say good-bye…
I will remember all the things you taught me…
I’ll share everything I know…
All the while keeping your memory alive and well…
Utterly Devoted
