If only
Two little words,
mean so little, mean so much;
If only;
If only I had visited you more often;
If only I sat and talked with you more;
If only I had given you a hug;
If only I had told you I loved you;
If only I had kissed you goodbye that one last time;
If only I knew your time here with us was ending;
Two little words;
If only.
All my love,
your baby-Celeste

Dad,
Today you will go to your final resting place and be with your beloved 'Stel'. I will miss you so much. I know you are happy now. I know you will watch over your grandchildren and help them out any way you can. You lived for them. And I thank you for that. I never knew my grandparents. I thank you for staying here for as long as you did, hurting as much as you did for missing mom. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my children. I miss you so much.
Love,
your baby,
Celeste
