My daddy died today. He's had pneumonia. I have thought alot about him today. He was silly sometimes. I remember he would say whenever we were going somewhere that required paid admission, "If you walk in backwards, they'll think your leaving and they won't charge me for your ticket. " That always made me laugh. He would say things like "Half passed kissin time, time to kiss again." or "let's have a family huddle" or when we were getting out of the car he'd say, "all out who's gettin out!" ... but my best memory is when he would sing to me ...
"You are my sunshine
my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away."
I think that when it comes right down to it ... all that matters is family. I felt that today. I am so grateful that when my dad left us today, he left knowing that we were with him and I said goodbye knowing that he loved me ... every little girl just needs to be loved by her daddy. You never outgrow that.
