To my beloved Papa
I am so very sad that I cannot be with you today Dad, therefore I decided to write you this letter.
We did not spend a lot of time together the last 42 years, but our get-togethers have always been filled with smiles and mutual understanding without saying a word.
Each time I had to say “goodbye” it broke my heart but I always had hope to see you again real soon. I am so very grateful that over the last 42 years I was given the opportunity to see you grow old, even if a couple of years past in between seeing you again. You gave me a fright when you fell of the roof and I was worried that I lost you forever much too early. As always you fought back and conquered adversity which came with this accident.
My hero, my believer, my Papa
Sadly our last “goodbye”, a couple of years ago now, was the goodbye for ever. The last time I kissed and hugged you, the last time I looked into your eyes and knew you understood my pain to leave.
I know my broken heart will heal in time because you are in my heart and you are the fight in me. Thanks for giving me your courage I needed for making my life. You have been my pillar of strength when I wavered. You always will be my hero.
I am so glad you have been my father but now Papa it is time to say goodbye one last time. “tschuess” Papa.
Your daughter which adores your – love always.
Margot
