If I Could Send a Father’s Day Card to Heaven

Tom Orlando McKenzie (February 13, 1960 - November 6, 2014)

Every Father's Day is special. A day to show your father how much you care. This year is very tough for me because this is the first Father's Day that my dad Tom McKenzie will be spending in heaven.

There are no real words to express the feeling of how much I miss the amazing man that I call dad. He was strong, warm, funny, stubborn and kind. He made a lasting impression on everyone he met. He had this wonderful ability to make others smile and laugh. He did so much for me and expected so little in return. I will be forever grateful for the man he was and the woman he helped me to become. I found this poem that describes my feelings well.

I hope that he knows how much I respect and love him. Life will never be quite the same, there will forever be a piece of my heart missing.

Father's Day in Heaven

Daddy, you're in heaven now,
That's not supposed to be...
On this special father's day
You are usually here with me.
This is the first time to celebrate
Your day without you near
But I still want to celebrate
The father you were
When you were here.
I can't imagine Father's day
In heaven up above,
All the daddies gone from earth
Surrounded with HIS love.
My love for you will never fade
The memories I'll hold dear.
You will always be my daddy,
And I your little girl.
Your time on earth as my dad is over
But someday we will meet in heaven brand new!!!
With our Father you now celebrate
The love he has given you.
Daddy, I'll always love you,
Thank you for being you!

So, this year, I wish I could send a Father's Day card to heaven. I wish I knew how much postage it would take.

I love you daddy, Happy Father's Day from your little girl.
