You fought in the big war and came home to find your younger brother laid down his life for us. You are my hero.
I can see you in my mind, your hearty laugh, your big brown eyes and feel the many hugs you gave to me.
I was always your daughter with the black curls who followed you everywhere. You are my hero.
I remember our family vacations, the fun we had laughing and joking as we would so often do. I remember it well. You are my hero.
As the years go by, those childhood memories are embedded into my mind and I smile when I think of you.
You left us too early, you have missed so much but I know deep down inside, everything I do has got your fatherly touch.
Your grand daughter joined the Navy, I became a nurse, and mother's now beside you,
remember her big tan purse?
You've always been my hero, nothing more to say except I miss you terribly each and every day.
