This poem touched me so deeply. I lost my dad last year on November 9, 2018. He died right after my birthday. He had a massive heart attack while he was asleep. It was so suddenly. We didn't expect it. He was very close to me. I loved him dearly. I miss him so more now than ever. When I read this poem, all the memories can back to me. I will never forget the good times we shared while he was still with us, so thank you for this!!!

My dad died on 12/02/2019 all of a sudden. He went out for a walk, came back, sat on a chair and never woke up. It has left my world devastated and angry. He was my hero and mentor. He gave me soo much and his death has left me empty. Words can never discribe how wonderful he was to me and our family. Rest in Perfect Peace, Dada. I love you forever.

I lost my Dad on 1/2/2019 to the cold hands of death. He died of prostate cancer. I'm looking for a good price for my dad.

My father died Nov 15, 2017, from cardiac arrest. He had a heart attack on Nov 6 and was able to be revived and was waiting to see a cardiologist. It's hard to think he will not come home anymore. I was holding his hand when he took his last breath. He looked at me and then the doctor said stop CPR. My mom was sitting on a wheelchair, trying to wake him up. They asked me to stop CPR, but I couldn't, so the doctor did it for me. He said his heart was weak and they shocked him 12x already. I wished I stayed that night at the hospital. If only the cardiologist came right away instead of 9 days later, maybe they could have figured out what was wrong with his heart. My dad never complained. He had a huge heart and always had a smile on his face. I will forever miss him.

Just lost my dad last month and his burial will be next month, and I need a nice poem that defines my state right now to render to him because I am heartbroken, and his death was the least expected.

I lost my hero (dad) on the 3rd of last month. He was a man of integrity and honor. Oh death! My dad was the only parent I knew. He never abandoned us, even as kids (3 years of age) when mum was no more. He took up the both responsibilities. I love you Dad, and you are my hero. You stood by me always. You never make me feel the vacuum of not having a mum. I was not expecting you'd die so soon. You are always in my heart, Dad.

Ten years ago on July 31, I lost a godly man to sickle cell anemia, my father. He was a man of great honor and integrity. He died at the age of 46 when I was only 8 and my brother was 9. I remember 3 months before he passed when he came home one day and showed my brother and I some sort of tubes and machines stuck to him. It was scary and I remember crying and asking him what it was and he told me everything was alright and that he would get better soon. A week before he passed, my brother, my mother and I were going on vacation to London when we met my father at the airport. He was just arriving from a business conference in Switzerland. After we said our hi's and goodbyes, my father wanted one last hug from me but I told him " you don't need another one, I'll see you when you come to London " and till this day, I still regret that because he died that week before he could come see us. And I miss him so much.

I lost my dad during the Christmas of 2015 after a 9 month battle with cancer. I think what hurt me the most was watching him suffer and not being able to do anything about it. Sometimes I still can't believe he's gone. He was 63 and still full of energy and life, wasn't ready to let him go. I miss him and try not to talk about him most times so I don't break down in tears. I pray he is resting with the Lord in heaven. Amen

Lost my Dad on 12 Thursday 2014 at a car accident from Nairobi. He left his wife, twins at the age of 14 years and a young son of 8.
Truly worth using these words for the funeral. Thanks Emma

I have just lost my dad, 1 week ago, He was 62, and I'm 41. He also went very unexpected and was asleep. I've never cried so much than I have this week, and now I have to organize his funeral. I've been looking for a certain poem that captures the way I'm feeling, and this is the one. Thank you Emma, I would love to use this poem to read, ( if I can read the words through tears). Thank you again.

My dad passed away 4 years ago and words cannot express how much I miss him. Thank you so much for writing such a lovely poem that captures just how I feel about it. What I wouldn't give to just hear his voice again.
