My fathers last wish

2007.01.26

My dad passed away when I was 7 years old, I am 33 today.

He wrote this letter to me 3 days before he died.

I read this letter to remind myself that things could be much worse.

I could be taken away from my family today like my father was when I was 7.

Love the people in your life........

deleted062007 You do not know how much you have touched my heart with this letter. The only thing I can say that that your father loved you so much that he asked you to look after his life partner, your Mother!! His love remains in your heart and you have done him well to tell your story today!! You are a very gutsy lady to let us know who he was and what he meant to you and your Mother. You have released a spirit of pure unselfish love when you did this - you are the daughter that your Father wanted - and am sure he is very proud of you! - Thank you for sharing this with me - Art

pattyb Your words are so wise, to love the people in our lives. There is nothing greater on this earth than love. There is nothing I value more than love.

As someone who has lost her Mother, Father and only Brother in a family of four, I applaud your strength. I too, tell myself things could be much worse.

Thank you so much for sharing your very personal message of love. It has touched my heart deeply. Patty
