Wasn’t it just yesterday
You called to say hello
To catch up on my crazy life
And joke about the snow
The minutes flew by, much to fast
Like the snowflakes swirling round
We laughed so much, my stomach hurt
Our laughter knew no bounds
We promised once again to call
On New Year’s Eve, to say
The best is yet to come, alas
It didn’t end that way
You left before the year was done
God had other plans for you
The telephone would never ring
With “hello there”, this is true
Forever, Daddy, you’re always here
We’re never far apart
Every time I look up to the stars
I feel you in my heart
In Loving Memory of My Daddy, Frank 8/28/28 – 12/31/85

I love this, Dor. I’m quite sure our dads are livening up the heavens.
I especially love the photo. We so would have been gal pals tearing up the town had we met back then. I look at that and realize how much I know you in spirit. I’m glad I found you. Happy New Year, my soul-sister 🍸🍸🎊🎉

We were on a cruise to the Bahamas. It was such a blast. I still believe when the phone rings, I’ll hear him on the other end…. He left us 5 months after I got married, but I see him in my children every day. It’s amazing. I’m so happy we found each other!! You are a true blessing in my life ❤ Happy New Year!
