SUN RISE TO SUN SET
From the first time I met you I was greeted with a smile..
Overlooking your own present state and trials..
After a firm hand shake and formal introductions..
With ease we begin several discussions..
Even though we just met, I felt like I already known you!
You shared with me some of your fears and things that concerns you..
I felt good that we got along so well..
You told me what you wanted most, was your beautiful daughters to go on and do well!
I replied, yesTHEY'RE strong they will, for sure!
You smiled and said I know they're FORRESTERS...
Over the next few months I found out exactly what that meant. .
VISIT after visit I never seen complain or vent..
It was clear and evident being a FORRESTER MEANT, SHOWING STRENGTH.
Fot those around you that you LOVED the MOST.
You kept your since of humor and kept me (every one else) laughing with your jokes..
I was happy to introduce you to my son, as my friend..
I want you to know I will keep my promise the very best I can..
BUT it's still a few things that I just didn't get the chance to say..
Thank you for accepting me from the very first day..
Thank you for your beautiful daughters especially NICOLE..
SHE IS and has been INCREDIBLE and I LOVE HER but this you already know..
THANK you for fighting as long as hard as you did..
Thank you for showing me different ways a father can love your kids..
So from me (Anthony) Nicole, Megan, Justin, Vickey and Karen and Uncle Bill..
We love you and will hold on to the good memories still..
Will love live learn in the memory of you with no REGRETS FROM SUNRISE to SUNSET
