My dad was the only man I could depend on and loved me through all my faults and was the only man who stood by me and never left .  He was like that with everyone he met .  He wasn't perfect in his life - no one is-but he loved unconditionally.  And would help anyone no matter what. 

He didn't grow up with things handed to him so he tried to give us everything he didn't have .  He worked hard in the coal mines and that was what eventually took him.  He suffered for so so long.  I was not ready for God to take him from us.  But I know now he is in no pain and now can walk and dance among the heavens.  I miss him terribly everyday and the talks we had the last few months before he left where we talked about stuff that I never thought I could tell anyone..  He understood me. 

I love you and miss you dad. I held ur hand until u took your last breath her on earth . Like u were there when I took mine ..::I hope You knew I was there when you went to God ...
