Dear Dad...

You are my hero, my protector, my teacher. You are my father and I love you dearly. I miss you here on Earth, but, I know that one day we will be together again on a new journey. You helped me through this life, from the time I was born till the day you left and died to this world. This is a message from me to you, Father. So many years ago you left us, Dad. That was a sad day for me and my siblings. Years, yet it seems like just a short while ago I sat with you and we talked of
our joys in life. I told you how your children were
growing and becoming young adults and how very
proud I was of them. You loved looking at our pictures and reminiscing with me, It reminded you of when I took my first steps and uttered my first words "seeeeeeeee *. Then you would talk about each of your children and how we grew and the funny stories you had of each one of us. You would shake your head and wonder where the years had gone.
Since you left us, Dad,our generation of yours is
beginning life and growing fast. we are fine people and would make you proud.
Even though you have not physically with us, you have left us a legacy and stories
to pass on .
With your folk art, your pictures that we treasure,
memories of you, folk songs you sang to us, the
wonderful toys and little furniture you made for us,
how you made Christmas and the holidays so special,
all your wonderful gardens with our own vegetables,
all these memories will be passed down to the little
ones. This legacy will continue on with each of your new
generation. We have your folk art displayed where all
can see and the stories that go along with these
carvings are just as much a treasure as the art is.
i remember when we were little and the
stories you told us and how we laughed so hard
at your tale of the woman in the mountains who
threatened to "pickle you" if you did not marry her .
i remember listening with held breath and huge
eyes when you told us of the mountain lion who was
stalking you, of the wolves fighting just over the hill
from you, and the bears you tracked .
You would be so proud, of all your descendants.
The older I get, Dad, the more I realize just how
much you gave me. You gave me the realization that
my spiritual growth is of the utmost importance. You
taught me that to grow spiritually I must listen to the
voice of my soul -- to sometimes enter into the
silence to do so.
You taught me to respect Nature and Mother Earth.
You taught me to know when storms are approaching,
what kind of winter we will have, what our springs
and other seasons will be like, by watching Nature
and the animals, the sun and the moon. You taught
me how to read the stars and how to watch for signs
in the skies and in Nature.
I remember when I was about eight, standing outside
with you and my siblings after dark. I was afraid of
the dark, but felt safe knowing you were near. I can
still see, when I stand outside in the dark, that night
you pointed up to the heavens to show us the star
that was near the full moon and told us all about it.
You made us appreciate such beauty like that.
You taught me how to be proud of myself, but, also
how to be humble. You taught me to reach out to
others when they are in need and to offer my hand
in support.You imparted in me the importance of
giving without expectations.
I learned from you how to pay attention to my
creative side as well as my logic. I learned to play the
flute because of you, and how
to appreciate music and how important writing is to
express my feelings, goals and joys. You showed me
how to plan gardens and grow vegetables and how to
harvest them.
From you I learned that all people are the same in
God's eyes and that love is the greatest of all things.
You taught me how to pray and call upon the spirits
that guide and protect me. You gave me courage to
try new things. You gave me the knowledge that to
fail only means another door to a better opportunity
has opened.
I am much older now and it has been so long since
you left us -- yet you are still teaching me in ways
that come through memories and sometimes
dreams.
Every Christmas, I put three of those little shrek teddy, "army teddy" you called them because of
their shape,on my shelf.
Every Father's Day, no matter how busy the day is
with our huge family, I always find the time and the
place to be alone with you in spirit, to say a prayer
for you and to thank you for all you have given me
