My dad died suddenly with a heart attack when I was 22. No matter the days that have past, I can still feel him nearby and there are times that I miss him so. As long as he lives in my memory, he will always be close by. If your dad has died also, may this poem comfort you.

My Dad died yesterday (26/06/06) and although he had had a full and happy life and I have my own children. I was still his little girl. I have been looking for a poem to read out at his funeral to say how much he means to me. I have tried to write it myself but im just feeling to 'muddled' for it to make much sense. Your Poem says exactly what I want to say. It made me cry. I hope you wont mind if I (try) to read it out at his funeral. Thank you.

I lost my dad to a heart attack a year and a half a go. I can so relate to Ms. Burnette. My heart still aches and his memory will never be erased from my mind. I shed a tear for her, myself, and everyone else who has such a void as ours.

I loved your poem. I lost my dad this past Saturday under the same circumstances. I am only 17 and my dad was 53. If I could turn back time, I would tell my dad I love him. I didn't get to say good-bye.

I love this poem. I read this at my dads funeral. He died June 4,2005, suddenly. My mom and I found him dead on the floor from a heart attack. I feel like he's around me alot. I will miss him forever. Thank you for a poem just right for my dad.

This was a beautiful poem, and it has special meaning for me because my dad died last week. I was there with him, holding his hand when he died, and that was one of the most saddest moments in my life. Thank you for this poem, and I think it is simply beautiful.
