Where do I begin?
My Love, My Hero, My Best Friend, My Everything,as I sit here in shock,thinking how can this be?
And how do I go on? Without you my Very Being by my side?
I remember the night we first met, you saying
Dam, I’m gonna marry you?
With your Patton leather mahogany coat, and slick back hair, and plaid pants , and your Red hot souped-up hot car I in my mind,thought keep on dreaming buddy, little did I know months later I would fall head over heels in love with you?
After losing the first man in my life to a senseless war, little did I know, told to me by a medium, that you were hand picked out for me by him....
And the story began....
Finally came the time that I would take off my formers engagement ring, and what did you do?
You took his ring, gave it to a jeweler and had it reset for me to look more like a statement ring, then an engagement ring....
Here now you can wear the ring forever and he will always be with you!
And if that wasn’t enough?
After introducing you to his family, who fell head over heels for you, you became every part of there family, a son, a brother, a friend..... and recently poppa Tommy.
What kind of man does this ?
A man full of love, selflessness strong, adoring... yes, that’s you my sweet gentle giant.
Though ups and downs, through so many deaths of my love ones, I knew I could always count on you for support, a man so strong, and yet so fragile at times with so many fears, your warm and loving, personality was infectious, a testament to your character.
Loved by all, that met you...
Who knew after 3 years of dating our Marriage would be forever, only to surpass ,,, now and forever...
Four years after being my Knight in a Policeman’s Fireman’s uniforms, you would take on another roll, a roll as you stated with glee, you couldn’t wait, to have a ball of dust in your life , and when it does you wanted it to be a girl,who to this very moment, very second of each day, is a image of you, in every sense of the word, strong, tough, caring, loving, to me from the time she spoke her first words, all I ever see is you in her, every time she speaks, I say ... you two share a brain, she has come in full charge, stepping immediately into your shoes, to take over everything that you so well planned for our future,,, of what I have “no clue”
Of what is to be done!
A son who through you mentoring and teaching, stepped right into your role, of taking care and making sure that patriotism
Will be paid to you in every sense of the word, through his methodical character, of seeing things done right, in the matter it should be ....
You are truly a man, loved by all, as a friend, a husband, a mentor, a father to Melissa and Christopher and the greatest Poppa Bear any three blessings could ask for,
Alexandra, Twins, Madeline, and Tyler, even through your battle through Parkinson’s Disease there isn’t a time I can remember where you weren’t on the Floor, rolling, jumping on, nose pulling, ears being tucked at,
You never ventured away, from those precious days, I remain with the sound of there giggles, laughs and smiles, whose voices ring in my ears,
With them jumping up and down ... Poppa is here, Poppa is here!
With all said and done, you can sleep well my love in the arms of heaven, as you need not worry ,,, YOUR DAUGHTER, has got this !
Till I can be in your arms once again, so the story goes,,, I love you More today then Yesterday , forever and always, sleep tight my Love till I’m in your arms once again...
You left with wings, I’m here
With a heart that was ripped to sheds... you will be missed by all especially hearing all your funny stories... we could have written a book together!
Till we are together again babe !
8/3/1 ... our song... “I LOVE HOW YOU LOVE ME!
FOREVER and ALWAYS Xoxo
