I Remember

I remember,

As I walked down the aisle,

To join my life

With that of your son’s,

You were smiling.

I remember,

When we came to visit you,

I couldn’t wait.

When we entered your home,

You would hug me tight.

I remember,

When you first saw Chris,

You cried with joy.

Cradling him in your arms,

You said, “Thank you.”

I remember,

Soft, nights on the lake,

When you and Chris would walk,

Side by side, his hand in yours,

You were laughing.

I remember,

Loving you dearly,

As if you truly were

My dad, my own father,

You are my hero.

In Loving Memory

What a lovely tribute to your father-in-law. He was surely a remarkable man to inspire such love. How truely blessed you are to have known him. And how blessed he is to have you for a daughter.
