My dad, Gary Pardue, passed away in May of 2010. I still miss him every single day even though it's been 7 years. But I especially miss him on Father's Day when everyone is making posts about their own dads.
Happy Father's Day, Dad! I hope you take a nice long ride on your motorcycle today down the country roads in Heaven!
Dance with My Father Luther Vandross
Lyrics
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me
And then
Spin me around 'till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love love love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother
Would disagree
To get my way I would run
From her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
yeah yeah
Then finally make me do
Just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance
One final step
One final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
Cause I'd love love love to
Dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how mama would cry for him
I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much to much
But could you send her
The only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But Dear Lord
She's dying to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

I'm fortunate to still have both my parents. My parents, in their 80s, still miss their own parents. We are always children and I'm glad you had a good father. Happy Father's Day in his memory.

Thank you for the caring comment . I'm so sore to hear about your mom! I also lost my Mother in 2008. Even though I'm an adult, I still need my parents.
I will follow you!
