Ruff Davis

“Daddy”

I’d never ever felt this until you had to say goodbye.

A feeling of loss intense it’s like I actually might die.

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep your face is all that I see.

My chest feels so tight that sometimes I can’t even breathe.

For it’s not like you’ve just moved from one town to the next.

Where you’ve gone, I cannot follow unless I take drastic steps just carrying on as normal feels like I’m saying that I don’t care.

But I don’t know what else to do my god this isn’t fair.

I’m told that things get easier in time, but it’s the worst feeling I’ve ever known to be the one who’s left behind.

You’ve fought a good fight, now the battle is over; rest on daddy until we meet again.

Love Forever Your Daughters

“Rest Well” I think of things you used to say and all that you would do.

At some point every single day my thoughts will turn to you.

To lose you was a bitter sight. The pain cut to my core.

I’ve been holding back the tears because you are not suffering anymore.

So I try to remind myself of the happy times we had.

I know I can’t be with you now and you can’t be with me but safe inside my heart you’ll stay that’s where you’ll always be.

So rest on my love for now until we meet again.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything, tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answer. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.

Recessional

“Grand”

As we watched you laying there so calmly as you sleep. There was certainly a peace about you. Anytime we needed you; you were there, Anything we needed you most certainly didn’t mind. We will miss you for the rest of our lives. We know that you are gone but not forever, you will forever be in our hearts. You taught us so much losing you is like a drought. When we think of you, we know what to do. Just look to our GOD and see that’s where you’ll always be — watching over us, protecting us. You will always be our Grand forever and always until we meet again.

Love Your Grandkids
