GOODBYE DADDY

Today is the first day I have ever said that I no longer have a Daddy. You have been the bravest man I have ever known to endure what you have with the dignity in which you did. I will never forget what it has meant to me having you as my loving father. I know that I take after you in many ways and I love and adore that I do. You have taught me about the type of person I want to every single day. You have been so accepting of anything that came your way and all your magnificent morals, ethics and decency I learned from you. You have meant more to me than any other person on Earth and not a day will go by that I will not remember you and document your legacy for my kids and for future family to enjoy. So they will know the greatest man that was

~Kenneth Reginald Ryan~

May you rest in peace for eternity. Love you now and forever Daddy the rest of my days. You may be gone in body but you will always be with me in spirit and live on inside me every second that my heart keeps beating as I am a little part of you. Always your little girl, Tiffiny xxx.

Tiff so sad to hear this news. Take care and remember that you will always have a Daddy - even though he isn't here in the sense that we want, i am certain he walks beside you every day.

My love to you and your family.

Dear Tiff,
I´m very sorry for your loss.

I don`t know you. You are someome somewhere on the other side of the globe, but because of your wonderful scrap works I came back here once in a while to see all those gorgeous layouts.

When I stopped by today, tears were running down my face. I am so sorry for your loss and for all the hard times you had to go through. But I learned something too today. Out there, there are other mothers or daughters who fight their lives just as I try to. I am very afraid of the day my father is going to die. But to see that others -like you - have the same fears and find a way through it all, leaves me less troubled. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I hope you have many good friend and family around you who do not leave you alone in your grief.

Take care,
fliki
