Darkness Surrounds, but You Were Always My Light!

My Father! My Friend! My Hero!

David Crass
When I think back on life and all my fondest memories, I see your face encouraging me further. I would not be the man I am today without you.

When I look forward I see all the emptiness that was left behind by your passing. I cannot see how to be the man I need to be without you.

When I see my life now, the whole I am in, I cannot see a way out for me because you are not here to lift me.

I know you taught me so much, taught me how to live, how to love, and how to be a man. But without you here Dad, I am lost and forever the darkness surrounds me.

Life is hard, lonely, and deadly, but through it all I knew I had a friend. Now I cannot see anything that lies ahead.

When I was young and would scrape my knees you would take away the pain, you were always what I needed. When I became a father I knew I had to be more then you were to make you proud. There was never a limit to the things you did for me. The love you showed me is the strength I summons to get through every day.

At every step in my life I tried to make you proud. But now I'll never get to see you smile when I graduate this June. Dad I did it for you!

When I want to give up, when I can't take another step, I think about you, and hope you are watching from above, and I find the strength for one more step. Though it is pointless to continue now, I know it is what you would want me to do. So every day Dad is dedicated to you.

In loving memory of my Father, Luther William Mann Sr, You are my daily inspiration. I miss you dad!
