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
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.
If I have ever had a problem where did I go mom and dad of course. I couldn’t ask for two more loving people. I am very proud to have you here with Isia and I on our special day. I know that your love and support will continue for many years to come.
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 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.
I stand before you today to pay my last respects, and to say my final goodbyes, to my father Harry.
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.
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.
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.
Who is someone you are thankful to have in your life and why are you thankful for them? One of the people in my life that I am thankful for is my dad. He is thoughtful, kind, and caring. That is just some of the reasons why I am thankful for him. My dad is a good man, he always does what is asked of him, he is outgoing for any and all people.
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
You’ve flown the skies with me now for twenty years. You were the one who asked to hold me before I was strong enough to hold my own weight. Still to this day, you’ve gone before me and always stuck behind, covering my front and my back sides. Thank you for being the greatest brother and friend I could ever ask for. You know me better than anyone our age, and point me back to Christ in every aspect of life.
I know you are strong, so smile for me”. I will never forget that day. I will never forget the advice you gave me. Even today, I will smile but just for you. I thank you dad for making me the strong person I am today.
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.
