I’d have stayed a little longer
Gone more often
Taken the picture
Paid more attention
Listened more intently
Memorized your voice
Back when I had a choice
If I’d only known
I’d laugh a little louder
Sit a little closer
Hug a little longer
Ask a few more questions
Tell another story
Sing another song
While you were here to sing along
But I didnt know
Time was running out
I didnt know
The song was ending
Music fading
Story closing
Sun was setting
Chances spoiling
Forever.
I love you Daddy.

Oh my goodness. I knew Mickey all my life growing up in Arden. One of the gang. So many fun times. So much trouble we got into. Such a great and caring guy. Gone too soon. So very very sorry to hear of his passing. Prayers for the family.
Sorry to hear the news Mickey. I pray you’re resting comfortably in Heaven and I know you’ll be missed. Glad to have known you in school.
My prayers are with each of you as you go through this difficult time. may God comfort you and give you peace.

Your Mom and Dad were always so sweet to me at church. I guess the last time I saw you was at your parents 50th anniversary at Skyland church
Love and will miss you forever.
Micky, wish I could have gone on this journey with you. Everyone has had to go on with their life. I’m alone now and don’t know how to go on without you. My heart is broken. I don’t know what to do. I’m so lost without you. I know your pain is gone now and your not suffering. That’s what you’ve wanted for so long. I’m being selfish I know but I Love You and wish you could have stayed with me. Honey keeps waiting for daddy to come in the door. I’ll never say goodbye, but will be with you again. Thank you for loving me and giving me 27 beautiful years. I Love You
Everyone has had to get back to their lives. I’m alone now for the first time since you went away. I’m so lost and alone without you . You went through so much pain for so long, but you were my rock and tried so hard not to show the pain. Thank you for 27 beautiful and loving years. Honey is watching the door waiting for daddy to come home to her. I love you and will be with you again.
