IF I HAD THE CHOICE TO CHOOSE, I COULD NOT HAVE PICKED A BETTER DAD THEN YOU. YOU WERE MY HERO GROWING UP AND YOUR STILL MY HERO NOW. IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THT I COULD HAVE CHANGED, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN ALL YOUR PAIN AWAY FROM YOU. I DID NOT AKE GOD WHY FOR I KNEW HE HAD HIS REASONS. WHAT I DID ASK GOD FOR WAS TO FINALLY GIVE YOU A LIFE OF PEACE AND NO MORE PAIN. AND AS I SIT WITH YOU THESE FINAL DAYS, SO MAMY MEMORIES RUSH THROUGH MY MIND. YOU SHOWED ME LOVE, YOU MADE ME LAUGH, AND SOMETIMES CRY. BUT MY TEARS NOW ARE NOT BECAUSE YOU WERE TRYING TO TEACH ME RIGHT FROM WRONG, BUT BECAUSE YOU WOUN'T BE TEACHING ME NO MORE. BUT THERE IS NO WORRY, NO MORE PAIN FOR YOU DAD. YOU CAN FINALLY REST NOW. YOU NEED TO FIGHT NO MORE. AND EVEN THOUGH I WILL NO LONGER SEE YOU, I HAVE SOME COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT I WILL BE WITH YOU ONE DAY AGAIN. AND THEN YOU CAN TEACH ME THE THINGS I NEED TO KNOW ONCE MORE. BUT UNTILL THAT TIME COMES, I WILL HANG ON TO ALL MY MEMORIES OF YOU AND OF ALL YOUR LOVE. I WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE FINALLY AT PEACE, AND YOUR FIGHT IS NOW DONE. IT MAKES LETTING YOU GO JUST A LITTLE BIT EASIER. SO I WOUN'T SAY GOOD BY TO YOU DAD, BECAUSE GOOD BY IS FOREVER. BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN AND TELL YOU JUST HOW MUCH I MISSED YOU AND JUST HOW MUCH I DO LOVE YOU.
