Seven years later he found he had HIV. He fought hard with this and took it hard when he got the news.





Dad became a Beautiful Angel on Christmas Day

Missing You

No words I write can ever say
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows;
How I miss you, nobody knows!
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
But all I have are memories
And photos in a frame.
No one knows my sorrow,
No one sees me weep,
But the love I have for you
Is in my heart to keep.
I've never stopped loving you
I'm sure I never will;
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
Heartaches in this world are many
But mine is worse than any.
My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you and I miss you so."
The things we feel so deeply
Are often the hardest to say,
But I just can't keep quiet any more,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart
That no one else can fill;
I love you so, Dad,
And I always will.

"Never Be Forgotten"

I’ll always see your face,
The corner of your smile,
And all the little things that no one will ever know.
Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away,
Goodbye is just a word that I will never say.

You will never be forgotten.
A million days could pass us by,
But what is time but just a dream?
Oh, I still feel you here with the stars,
I would look up tonight and know just where you are.

You will never be forgotten.
A million days could pass us by,
But what is time but just a dream?
Oh I still feel you here with me.
You’re more than just a memory.
Oh, you will never be forgotten.

And the world just keeps on going;
It has no way of knowing
That you’re gone.

You will never be forgotten.
A million days could pass us by,
But what is time but just a dream?
Oh, I still feel you here with me.
You’re more than just a memory.
Oh, you will never be forgotten.








These are poems that I wrote about Dad.

	POEMS My one and only Loving Dad As I sit here tonight thinking of you I am reminded of all the things we would do How when I needed you You would always be there And never did once say you never would care. Dad you have always been there for me When I was up and feeling down How will I go on when you are gone You made me what I am today Remember all the times we would go outside to play As I sit with you tonight As you lay in your hospital bed It hurts me so much what your going through And what your thinking in your head. You lay there so fragile Your so skinny and so weak And not to mention that You can barley speak I am dreading the day When you have to leave To be in the heaven's so blue Cause Dad it going to break my heart To have to live without you. I want you to walk me down the isle The day when I say I do And to see the look in your eye And say that I'm proud of you. Jason loves the chain you gave And will cherish it with his heart For you are his special Grandpa And loves you with all his heart. You were there for me Dad When I had my baby boy For you even got to cut the cord That gave you so much joy You were always there for me and my baby boy Oh my god Dad what am I going to do To have to live my life without you I know your first son is in heaven and what he meant to you That is also why I named him Jason too Remember when I was small In the hospital so sick It was you who was always there with me And would stay with me day and night And you would keep telling me to Fight fight fight fight fight Well I am here now dad and it's all because of you I wish I could do the same for you But there;s nothing I can do But keep telling you to keep fighting And that I am here for you. The person that gave you HIV I like to tell him a thing or two When he broke the glass right through Then he even had the nerve To take it out on you Now you are suffering Because of what he did And all I want for you to do is Live live live live live. Please Keep on fighting Dad Tristan and Fissy will tell you to That your are the Best Grandpa That they are happy to have had And it breaks there heart that mommy Is losing the best Dad she ever had. If I could you know I would Stay with you day and night Just to sit and talk to you about you wonderful life Or even just to hold your hand and watch you breathe all night And how proud I am for you being my dad And you never gave up without a fight. Just always remember and never forget You gave me your love You gave me your heart I Knew we bonded from the start Cause you were there right untill the day Our Father In Heaven took you away. HOME AT LAST You became an angel Right on Christmas Day Dad oh how I miss you In Each and every way I know that your in peace And you are suffering no more But Dad I really wish You would walk right through my door I keep thinking it's all a dream And you will hug me so tight How am I ever going to Sleep again at night. I close my eyes and think of you It's you I always see And Dad I want you to Remember You will forever be apart of me. I stayed with you in the hospital Every single night I will never forget the time we shared For the rest of my life. I just sat there and held your hand And layed beside your side And whispered Jason's waiting With his arms opened wide I just sit here alone crying Wishing you where here Cause when you left on Christmas morning And peice of me had died. But you will forever be in my heart And that ache that's in my side. Dad I love you so much Why did you have to die All I did last night was Cry and cry and cry I layed my head beside you And I held your hand Why we let go I will never understand For when they came and checked you I stared in disbelief But sitting here thinking That is how you wanted it to be With just the slip of your hand And you beside of me. I think that's why you went early So I could be at home Cause you know that I wouldn't leave You on Christmas Day alone. The kids they loved there presents Mike loved the housecoat too Dad I really don't think I know just what to do So many wonderful memories I have inside my heart I just wish that Daddy We never had to part You held on a little longer You sure put on a fight How will I never Forget that fatal night When you where finally resting Apart of me had died Oh how I soaked your pillow When I sat there and just cried I still can't believe it's true That you are really gone Oh how much I wish you knew I'm trying to be strong I know that you would want me to Go ahead and carry on. We went and cleaned your room At the Karios House that night That hurt me so much Daddy But I felt you there with me Oh how I wish I could go back To how it used to be How I would come and visit you And sit and watch TV Oh how I already miss those days And it hasn't even been three? I wanted to take your pillow For it smelled just like you Please help me Daddy Heal the pain of losing you. I cried into your pillow And held it very tight Oh I wish I had it here with me Each and every night Today we made the arrangements For your celebration of life It was hard for me to do But I hope you know Daddy I did it just for you. I will soon have your ashes They will be with me forever I just wish that the doctor's Could have made you better. I brought them your favorite suit The one you loved to wear And when I seen you in it You looked to peaceful I swear You looked the same as you did Before you went into that place The way I want to remember you Without that sad look on your face. I know that your on your journey The new one has begun With our baby brother Your first born son Please tell him that i love him And that I miss him so For oneday when I get to heaven We will be playing in the snow I kissed you so many times today It was so hard to walk away When all I wanted to do Was to just stay with you Tomorrow will be harder For it will be the last time I see Your oh so peaceful face Staring right at me But deep down in my heart dad I want you to understand That I will forever remember Just holding your hand. Late that Friday night Dad The Doctor's came to me And said your not improving It's time to set him free That felt just like a knife To hear those aweful words Just to have let you go It hurt me more than you know I had to make that dreaded decision For you wanted it to be me But I still feel it's my fault That you are gone away from me I know you never wanted to suffer And you wanted to be set free But oh my dear daddy Why did you pick me? It feels like I killed you Apart of me has died What that did to my heart Just tore me up inside I know that was your wish Dad To be comfortable and pain free But all in all Dad It will forever kill me I know I shouldn't think that way But deep inside I do No matter what people tell me For me it will be true So please forgive me Daddy I miss you and it's true That I will never forget you No matter what I do The priest came to the room that night And read you your last rights I just cried in your arms And held your hand so tight I brought the kids that morning And Mike he came Dad I feel so aweful Dad I feel so blue To have to live my life Alone without you Today was really hard on me In each and every way I kept on thinking that I was throwing you away! For today was the day Dad That I went to Jason's grave And sadley placed your ashes Forever there to stay Where will you go now Will you stay there for awhile will you come to me in my dreams and give me your sweet smile I will always love you daddy I feel so lost and sad I sit here tonight crying Missing my dear sweet Dad I feel so lonely now Now your really gone away I only wish that I could keep your ashes here to stay I know that your in my heart and in my memories too but listen dear daddy why do i feel so blue I wanted to just keep you Forever here with me but now you are with Jason Till forever enternity But I had lots of Family support Aunty Susie and Uncle Dale Suzette,Dan and Jeremy Uncle Victor and his Girlfriend Kim and the adorable twins To let me know that it was okay To finally let you go It still was so hard for me To do that to you you know In fact it really ripped my heart into peices all over again it felt like Christmas all over again When you went away I wanted to just keep you Here with me to stay But Daddy I know you are resting In the heaven's above And I never ever will forget Your unconditioning love. For I may have of spread your ashes I may feel sad and blue But your with so many Angels now Who love you like I do.

AN ANGEL WALKS BESIDE ME

An angel walks beside me,
I feel him everyday,
he helps me through lives ups and downs,
and whatever comes my way.
He guides me down the road of life,
and lights the darkest roads,
he picks me up and carries me,
when I can not bear the load.
He helps to ease the pain I feel,
he mends my spirit, too,
he holds my hand, and shelters me,
and gives me courage and strength, too.
He speaks to me with words of love,
and he listens to my pleas,
he was sent here from the lord above,
to guide and comfort me.
I know he's always watching,
though his form I can not see,
its a peace I feel deep in my heart,
that leads me to believe.
An angel walks beside me,
I feel blessed everyday,
that the presence of this angel,
will never go away.






These are the kids school picture's.They are growing so fast Dad.I know you are watching down on them always.

Journal

Friday, December 19, 2014 11:10 PM CST

It's so hard to believe that this Christmas it's going to be 10 years since you left us it's seems like a lifetime I miss everything about you Dad.

Dad I know it's been awhile since the last time I updated your site but not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Another Christmas is coming and it's still hard not having you here with us. I'm sure your watching over your grandchildren and can see how they have grown. Dad please watch over Jason during this difficult time of losing his Dad as well. I know Steffan is heaven with you now please let him know how much we miss him here on earth. You must be enjoying all these Heavenly Christmas's with all our loving angels who have passed on. Christmas is not the same without you.

Love you always and forever.
