If Tomorrow Starts Without Me

If tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.

Tranquility

Even though I miss you more than words can say, It brings me peace knowing that you are finally at rest. Your love, your laughter, your strength, and the way you always looked after our family will stay with me forever. Some days the sadness feels heavy, but then I remember the moments we shared, and they bring a quiet peace to my heart. I still think of you always. Sometimes it’s in the silence, sometimes in a memory that makes me smile, and sometimes in the little things that remind me of you. Those moments help me feel that you’ll always be a part of me. Thank you for being my dad, for loving me, and for leaving me with memories I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. Rest peacefully, Dad. I’ll carry your love with me every day until we’re together again. Forever your daughter Navonna. Missing you is something I carry with me every day, but it comforts me to know that you are finally at peace. I will always be grateful for your love, your guidance, and the countless ways you showed you cared. The memories we shared are gifts that time can never take away, and I hold them close to my heart. There are moments when I still expect to hear your voice or see your smile, and although those moments bring tears, they also remind me how deeply I was blessed to have you as my dad. Your strength, your kindness, and the love you had for your family will continue to guide me through life. I hope you knew just how much you were loved and how much you always will be. Rest peacefully, Dad. Your love will remain with me, until the day we’re together again. Forever your daughter Tiara.

Special Thanks

The family of our loved one extends heartfelt gratitude for your prayers, support, and kindness during this time.
