This piece of work was written--start to finish-- by my Dad, who unfortunately passed away years ago. Even after death he still motivates me. I want to accomplish all that I can to make my Dad, the rest of my family, and myself, as proud as possible. **** Thank you. I hope you like it. **** 🌹 Now that I have left you for a little while, Please go on bravely With a gallant smile, And for my sake and in my name, Live on and do all things the same-- Spend not your life in empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways-- Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I, in turn, will comfort you and hold you near. 🌹 R. I. P Eugene D. Vasquez ~My amazing Dad- **** Thank you for your time.

🔖•To My Daughter•🔖 🌹 My beautiful Daughter, you'd have my smart mouth and your Mom's attitude. You'd say what's on your mind w/ out a second thought or realize you're being rude. You wouldn't take "no" for an answer; you'd be very determined to get what you wanted. You'd make a lot of choices, some good and some bad, I'll be here for you when your life hits a rough patch. The sight of you growing up would scare me; boys, parties, foul language, and inappropriate clothing. I'd be worried, I'd complain, you'd say you hate me; the way I'd be overprotective, you'd think I was insane. I'll be there when you discover love and need advice. I can't stop it, and you can't avoid it-It's a way of life. I want what's best for you. The guy you fall for doesn't have to be perfect, but he has to truly love you, stay faithful, and never turn to abuse. Don't worry I'll make sure he never hurts you. If y

🔖 •To My Son• 🔖 🌹 I can imagine what you'd be like. You'd stay looking sharp as a knife. You'd have your Mom's eyes and my shaggy hair. You'd be a lady's man, dropping jaws as you walked passed, You'd choose to repair hearts, rather than break them; your Mom would be impressed. I want what's best for you, better than I ever had, I'll be there for you when you need me; I'm your only dad. I know we'd bump heads every once in a while, but later everything would be settled with a warm, welcomed smile. If you ever needed me all you'd have to do is dial. You have no idea how hard it is to smile right now. I'm depressed because of your unplanned goodbye. No parent should live longer than their child. I think to myself: Why couldn't I just change our fates & switch; I would take your place and die and you'd stay and start your own life. Even though I wouldn't be there physical

🌹 I never got to meet you. We never got to play hide & seek, or tag We never got to share a cry, or a laugh. I couldn't believe I was going to be a dad. Me and your Mom will love you always. We miss you more and more each day you're not with us. We wish you were here, our beautiful boy or girl, Making memories and experiencing the world. We might not get the chance to play on the beach, or throw balls of snow, But there's something I want you to know. You'll never be forgotten, You'll remain in our hearts. Our love can't and never will be torn apart. I Promise You... 🌹

🌹 Fear is my weakness, you are my strength, but you're also my fear, my dear. So you who brings me up with passionate doses of love and comfort also brings me down to a time where I only experience anxiety and depression. I neglect the fact that I think I need you. My heart tells me one thing, my mind another. My thoughts sometimes seem to find themselves twisted and bundled together, creating a submarine full of negative scenarios that never seems to surface. My courage, confidence, and pride all wilted away like a flower past its prime. You were my first true love and now you're my best friend, but our connection is still sparked. You weren't the first at a lot of things, but you were the first to win my heart. Our time has passed but could time be reversed? Is my constant suffering fate or a painful curse? You are my downfall, but you're also my up-rise. Your love is like Red Bull; it gives me the confidence and the wings to lift passed any obst
