Some people call it a bond , but I would call what we have a blessing . April 15 , 1999 your first and only daughter was born you had four boys and was a man yourself . You never knew how to raise a girl , but I am sure the day I was born you made a vow to try your best . And I’m writing this to let you that you have keep your vow . You knew that I would need your undivided attention , and some special care and you have provided both of these at your very best . you have always made sure that no matter what I have everything I want and need , sometimes more . Grandma often says I have unconditional love for you and you always know this to be true , but on this day I want you to know that I will always love you no matter what we go through . You have been more …show more content…
You have showed me the best love anyone could ask for …. The many talks we have will forever remain in my heart and the pep talks you give me before every game remain in my head like they all happened yesterday looking up from the sid line and seeing you there warmed my heart … The many rides from and to school when you did not have to … Praying with me on the way to school … always asking God to guide my way … Always letting me know that I can do all things through christ because he has the final say so … Giving me everything I want but also letting me know that I have to work for it “ JaNihya you have to work for everything you got nothing is free “ as you can say … but I always knew you would buy whatever I wanted anyway …. Dad you have one daughter so you never had the chance to practice along the way and I want you to know that you have done a phenomenal job day in and day out ….. I just want to say thanks … Thanks for sawing the game of Basketball and all that it can do for me , Thanks for showing me the love of God , and all that he will do for me and least but not least thanks for loving me because without your undying love I don’t know where I would
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank all of you for your compassion and for being present here today. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Mauri-Lynne, and I'm Lionel's daughter. Dad was devoted to every one of you. We all hope that you'll share your memories of him with us, if not today then in the weeks and months to come.
May the love you express to each other today, always be the first thoughts during any trying times in the future.
I would like to thank all of you for coming here today to help us, as a family, to heal, and to celebrate my mother’s life.
I stand before you today to pay my last respects, and to say my final goodbyes, to my father Harry.
You have always been there for me and helped me though good times and bad especially in my younger days.
I want to thank the most wonderful parents a child could ever have. Not only for the love, support and guidance over the years, but also for everything you’ve done towards today. Your massive contribution has been priceless and without you both we would have never managed and today would not have been possible or so special. Thank you Mom and Dad from the bottom of our hearts. And thank you Virginia for having such a wonderful son.
On behalf of my family, I want to thank you all for joining us here today to celebrate John’s long and amazingly fruitful life—a life of love extended, commitments kept, and faith observed.
Eulogy for Father As you all know, there were certain things Loyd liked -- dogs, and poker games, football, and airplanes -- and there were certain things he didn’t like -- carrots, political speeches, telephone solicitations (especially those made by insurance men), and long-winded eulogies. I won’t do that because for every story that I could tell today about Loyd, his friends here today could tell fifty more. I am very secure in the knowledge that Loyd lived every day of his life to the fullest and I feel that Mother and Delia Ruth are secure in that knowledge as well. And we are very grateful to you all for being here today with us to honor his life.
You are the best thing that’s happened to me and your mother! I remember you from the little time I spent with you, and I remember seeing how you are going to be a great leader! You are the person I need in my life right now. Your mother has spent almost ten years with you now, I know that I can never change that. I know that you two have a bond I dont have with you. I wish that I could just leave this war right now and come home to you! I love you, and I promise that I will spend my whole life helping you, teaching you, and be with you! I will never leave your side again! Having to leave you when you were a baby, was like having the Fates, kill me by cutting the string of my life. Then put on a boat knowing it would take me forever to see you again. I miss you so much and I am going to be so proud when I lay eyes on you! Te
Every day that I wake up and every night before I fall asleep, I thank God that we met, because without you I would be nothing. Through the hard times you have held my hand, through the rough times you have held me close to you, and through the ups and downs you have stayed by my side. What else could I ask for? When I am sick you tuck me in. You have brought back the person that everyone loved and have helped me learn to be the person I always wanted and knew I could be.
Oh Bryce oh Bryce. The things we’ve been through. The pictures of you holding me as a baby, from wearing costumes 24/7, to taking a picture every first day of school for mom, to living in two different homes, then having another little brother, then moving 6 more times before Mom and Tony found a real place the can call home, to jamming out in your car, to me sitting here writing this letter for you because you’re graduating. We’ve definitely had our down times, like when I threw your DS at you cause I was mad, or when you slapped me across the face cause I gave you an attitude and I ran into the woods crying. But we’ve had the ability to grow a lot closer than we were 3 years ago. We’ve matured enough to realize our differences and
Today, eighteen months ago my family came to this small box of a room and went into hiding. I shouldn’t complain though, we are safe, I have my family, and the ‘box’ we live in is actually quite cozy. Although these last few months have been very long, mother and father tell us everyday that we will be able to come out and be able to breath the fresh air for the first time in a year. We all know that they are just saying that to keep our spirits up. And even though it is tough living in a confined space for eighteen months I sure have grown closer to my wonderful family.
I love you very much and I am proud of the woman you have grown up to be. I can't wait to see how God writes the rest of your life story. I will be praying for you both as you start this
You will always be my best friend, my greatest mentor, my motivation and my deepest roots. Your belief in my limitless potential empowers me every single day. My love for you is endless. I’m eternally grateful for the knowledge you share with me and the irreplaceable life lessons
Ask any of my other five siblings and most of them would probably state, in a mild-mannered tone, that they are happy to finally have a father figure in their lives. This is not the case for all of us. As for me, I’ve grown fond of our situation in the absence of a looming and intimidating father figure. It’s quite liberating. Not having a father for five years has given me a chance to discover myself and my emotions without having to worry about appeasing my parents. Most importantly, it has given me the opportunity to be independent of my father’s abnormal diet choice: Vegetarianism.
