You were
the father
I never
had.
Brave and
strong
as solid
as a
rock.
I leaned
on you
and you
held my
heart…
You raised
me
to be
honest,
loyal,
and true
just like
you.
Never a
stronger
man have
I met.
I loved you
then
and
love you
still,
always.
Gramps~
thank you
for being
you,
and the
best dad
a girl
could have…
