Remember when we called you “Daddy”?
That all too soon changed to “Dad”
I don’t forget the way things were
I don’t forget the times we’ve had
We grew up too fast…it seems to all be slipping away
Trying so hard to be an adult…forgetting about things that happened when we were kids
So many thing…changing so fast
So many things I still miss
Dad…you’ve been there for me…since the day I was born
You’ve tucked me in and kissed me good-night every night when I was a little girl
Although you worked a lot…and weren’t around as much as we would have liked
You and mom were still my world
Although you never really were the emotional type…
We knew you loved mom…We knew you loved us…
You never were one of those men who thought it was ok to hit a woman…
You never wanted your children to have to see that
I hope to someday find a man like you
Someone who puts his family before anything else…
I know we’re grown up now…
I know we aren’t around as much…
But I want you to know…
I miss you when I’m gone…
I’ll never forget you…
I’ll never stop loving you…
You’ll always be my “Daddy”
