In loving memory of my Dad
Patrick J. Huber
Who died one very long year ago on August 8, 2008

You always said, “Never say Goodbye…say So Long”.
I will never say goodbye to you, Dad, because I know this is not the end.
But it seems so very, very long.
It feels like eternity since I’ve heard your voice, seen your smile, touched your hand.
I miss you so much. I cannot wait to see you again.
My only peace comes from knowing that you are in a place where there’s no pain or suffering.
I am so happy for you because I know you are with God. And Larry too.
For now, we’ve had to go in separate ways and it hurts more than words can say.
I remember how your arms protected me and gave me strength.
You were always there to listen, love, and defend me in everything.
You were my very best friend in the whole world my whole life.
In my triumphs you were always proud.
In my mistakes, your love unceasing.
I am forever grateful and always proud to call you my dad.
Here deep inside my heart you’ll always be.
If only I could turn back the time I would never let you go.
I felt the world stop and my heart stop beating when I was told you were gone…….
How I wished I was only dreaming.
Just like the rain; tears streamed from my eyes.
I couldn’t speak…I could only scream in pain at losing you.
I would give anything just to hug you one more time, see you smile, and hear you sing.

Thank you Dad….
For always understanding, listening , caring, and loving me every day of your life.
The greatest gift God gave me was YOU…….. my Dad…
It’s difficult to let you go but I must…I must return the gift God gave me.
Till then, “So Long, Dad”…
See you in Heaven………
With deepest sadness and Love,
Karen
