I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... Carly Simon Written shortly after the passing of her mother, the words in her refrain speak to me of my father.....I will wait for him forever like a river......

Minou, we are all touched by your beautiful tribute and feel that pain with you as it reminds us all of our own loved ones that have gone before us. Dads (and moms!) sure are special. What comforts me is to know that we will see each other again in heaven! Celebrating life, Debra Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: April 1, 2009 Comments: 11165
