No Tomorrow

[Translate]

My Last pic that I took with my Dad. I miss you Daddy!

The Father’s Day cards, commercials and other various reminders have been going on for a while now.  Just last night, as I walked by the cards, my heart ached as I wanted one more chance to say Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

I need to write more about him, as he was the original Joy Spreader.  Always giving to others, $20, here – candy for bank tellers there, helping out the guy that had a truck load of watermelons by purchasing them all and GIVING them away. Doing all the things I dream of doing.  Making a difference the way I dream of making.

Until last year with Megan, I can not remember writing any poetry of any kind.  But these words flooded my heart this past week and it’s with tears of joy and sorrow, I’m sharing them with you here.

 


No Tomorrow


The times of love, smiles and hugs
The times of grief and sorrow
All have a special place deep within my heart
For with him, there is no tomorrow


I sit and think and smile inside
I wonder what you would say and do
My heart longs to see, to touch and hear you,
To tell you, once more….I love you


Father’s Day is bitter sweet
As you are finally free of pain
My heart and soul realize the miles
As my loss is heavens gain


I love you Dad, I miss you deeply
Your laughter, your love, your smile
This time of separation, free from your hugs
Will make the wait…. all worth the while.

Me and my DaddyI always loved kisses from my Daddy

    Dear Marie,

    This poem is so very beautiful and heart felt! Your Dad would be so proud of you, for all you are, for all you do! He lives on in you, giving as he taught you to do. May your heart be comforted with wonderful memories,and with the hope and joy of seeing him again.

    Love,
    Nancy

    Marie,
    Knowing your dad, I KNOW how proud he was of you and all of his children. He proved that as long as he was able and when he got to where he couldn’t, ya’ll stepped in and returned his love to him. There’s no greater love than to spend time with your family…..laughing, crying, sharing, caring…..you did them all. I miss my dad too (funny how we always thought that with the cancer, yours would make that heavenly trip first), but God had other plans… I’m sure that they are both having a grand ole time right now and just waiting for the rest of the families to join them. Enjoy your Father’s Day with the memories that are so very sweet to you.
    Love,
    Jeanne

    Marie that is so beautiful,I cant imagine how you feel each Holiday that he is not there,but always remember he is in a much better place nopw and we can only pray to see him again one day,I know he is looking down on you and he is so proud of you,you are a God given blessing with all you are and all you do,just know that him and uncle linzey and aunt linda and granny and all the rest of themm that are gone on are just haveing a ball up there.and they will never have to deal with any sorrow of any kind ever again.I love you and miss you this makes me just want to get in my car and come see all of yall we dont ever see enough of each other until something bad happens,but thats just the way things go we dont slow down enough to enjoy the ones that we love while we still have them with us.

    @Nancy – Thank you for that!! and I didn’t even think about that picture and twitterjail..LOL thank you for that smile! I have that pic sitting on my desk at home. I love it. I’ve missed you on twitter – holler at me.

    @Jeanne I know our dads are enjoying themselves. At least I can smile now when I think of him. Sometimes the tears take over, but now, more smiles than not. I love you dearly. Thank you for being the bestest friend ever.

    @Brian Thank you for that – YOU keep enjoying your parents!!

    @Mary – girl – we need to do this. I’m planning something for us in July. We’ll have fun, laugh, miss those that are no longer with us and get looots of hugs..for a good reason for a change. Yep – Momma always says that she wants her flowers now…..not at the funeral home where she can’t enjoy them.
