My Florida Sunshine⦠â¦Always had a welcoming smile when you came to visit. â¦And his gentle heart taught me kindness, patience, and courage. â¦Was a quiet man, but was always ready to listen and give advice when needed. â¦Took great pride in his work and was always willing to lend a helping hand. â¦Was a gentle man who was proud to be a Husband, Dad, and Grandfather. And letâs not forget Great-Grandfather. â¦Thanked the Lord each day for allowing him the opportunity to fulfill his dream of retiring to Florida to enjoy the warm weather. â¦Loved to take short walks on sunny, warm days while enjoying many friendships along the way. â¦Would welcome me with open arms when I called to say, âI miss your smile, Dad.â I think I need to come for a visit.â â¦Rested as we held each others hands. We spent time reminiscing about childhood dreams, special places we went, and memories that were made. â¦Listened as I told him, âI am so proud you are my Dad.â â¦Squeezed my hand one last time and said, âI am so glad you came to visit.â I replied, âI Love You Dad, Iâll be here whenever you need me.â â¦Closed his eyes and said, âGood Night. I Love You Too.â â¦Is now an Angel and I pray he will send me warm smiles to brighten my day. My Florida Sunshine, My Dad! I Love You Always, Kathy
