My Hero you held my hand when I was small.

You caught me when I would fall. You're the Hero of my childhood and my adult years

Every time I think of you my heart still fills with Pride

Even though I'll always miss you dad. I know you will always be by are side, in laughter, in sorrow, in sun shine, and through the rain. I know you will be watching over us each and every day. Until we meet again.
