NOW THAT YOUR GONE, I FEEL LIKE I MISS YOU MORE WHEN YOU WERE HERE I HARDLY HAD THOUGHTS THAT THIS DAY WOULD EVER COME, ITS REALLY TO BAD, NOBODY KNEW THE PAIN YOU HAD, AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT SO SAD, AS YOU ARE THE ONE I LOVED AND CHERISHED FOR MY DAD. I REMEMBER ALMOST EVERY MINUTE,EVERY HOUR, OF MOST OF THE DAYS WE GOT TO SPEND TOGETHER, HECK I CAN SOMETIMES EVEN RECALL THE WEATHER. FOR EACH MOMENT WAS IMPORTANT, AS YOU TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT I NEEDED TO KNOW, TO THIS DAY I USE THOSE SKILLS TO HELP ME GROW. INSTILLED FOREVER IN MY MEMORY WILL BE SOME OF THE "PHRASES", THE UNUSUAL FACES YOU'D MAKE IN THE BACK ROUND TO PUT SMILES ON OUR FACES, THOSE MEMORIES WILL NEVER FADE BECAUSE THEY ARE ONES THAT ONLY A FATHER COULD HAVE MADE. THIS STILL HASN'T SUNK IN YET, THIS IS EVEN REAL,AND GUILT IS THE LAST THING I WANT TO FEEL, BUT ITS THERE. I KNOW THAT THROUGH ALL THE HARDSHIPS, YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME SORRY AND HOW MUCH YOU CARE. AND THAT NO MATTER WHERE I WALK ALONE AND SCARED, THROUGH THIS WORLD THAT WAS CREATED TO NEVER TREAT YOU FAIR, I WILL FEAR NO MORE, AS I KNOW NOW YOU CAN BE WITH ME EVERYWHERE. I AM SORRY IF YOU FEEL ITS TO LATE TO TO SHARE WHAT I FEEL NOW THAT YOUR GONE, BUT IT HAD TO BE HEARD, TIME TO FREE ANY BURDEN AND FLY WITH THE BIRDS. FOREVER IN MY HEART AND MIND, FOR A FATHER TO ME YOU ARE DEFINATLY ONE OF A KIND, LET IT BE KNOWN YOU WILL FOREVER BE LOVED AND KNOW THIS IS TRUE COMING FROM YOUR SON, WHO NOW FILLS HIS DADS SHOES. FROM YOUR LOVE DOWN TO MINE I HOPE NOW YOU ENJOY YOUR TIME IN HEAVEN, AND YOUR NOT AFRAID TO BE THAT LIGHT GOD MEANT FOR YOU TO FOREVER SHINE. LOVE ALWAYS YOUR SON SHANE
