The world without our Papa

It's so surreal 

It makes no sense

The world without our Papa

It's so foggy

It lacks all direction

The world without our Papa

It's so overwhelming

It hurts so much

The world without our Papa

It's our worst nightmare

It frightens our souls

The world without our Papa

It's dark

It's ugly

It's senseless

It's sad

The world without our Papa

My Dad and Me

I may not be your flesh and blood

I've obviously not known you the longest

There's things about you I've never known

Our quantity of time isn't strongest

I don't want to "compete" for your love

I never really did

Your love was always endless

It never had a lid

I just want to miss you

I just want to share

The one for whom my heart sang

Whom I always knew would care

So maybe I'm not your "daughter"

Perhaps I'm "only" a "step"

But to us that never mattered

Each memory I have kept

Stored in my heart

Locked with a key

Treasured forever

My Dad and me

Waiting for "Time to Heal All Wounds"

"Papa was ALL of My Happy, 

without Him I'll Always be Sad"

I Love You, Now Put THAT In Your Pipe and Smoke It!

I Love You, Now Put THAT In Your Pipe and Smoke It!

These are the words that PapAmore's 4th daughter shared with all of those gathered to celebrate him today...the last words ever spoken to her from her Dad.  

Granted, these words could have been a touch of morphine induced, however at the same time this phrase was most definitely 110% PapAmore.  

It's no wonder this GIANT of a Man was SO VERY LOVED by All...
