He is Gone
You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he lived
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry, close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want:
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
-- David Harkins, 1959
We'll always remember you 爸
The love you have for all of us
Especially your grandchildren
Your little precious ones
I'll never let my girl forget
How much 爷爷 doted on her
You will always buy her anything she liked
And take her anywhere she wanted
We'll really miss you 爸
You were always there for us
No one can ever replace you in our hearts
Because there will never be another one
With love,
Dad-In-Law
