My Dad was my HEROE

MY GUARDIAN ANGEL
On Sunday, October 21, 2001
MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY
We lived together all of our lives. There are no words to explain the emptiness
left in me. I don't think I will ever recover from it.
I learned from my mother to be strong, but with her death I learned that we are
really just like the wind, fragile...
one day strong, one day weak
one day here, one day gone.
Mother, I love you and miss you so much
I know you are still by my side,
a Guardian Angel next to Dad
