Mikes dad, "Pop", unexpectedly passed away 10 months after Sarah. This was so painfully ironic, because since Sarah was born, her and Pop had a very special bond. There was always a special twinkle in his eye whenever Sarah was near. From the time Sarah was a little baby, until she died, when Sarah would come to visit, Pop would carry her (and as she grew he would walk with her) through thier house and show her all the pretty nic-nacs, the pictures of the family, and anything else she wanted to see. As she got older he would take her out to his area in the garage where he would paint, (he did wonderful paintings as a hobby). He would let her draw on the chalkboard and even let her paint. They would always be doing something together. If Pop would come over and Sarah was napping or in bed, you could see the disappointment and anxiousness for her to awake, (when she was a baby he would often sneak over and wake her up, but would never admit that). As a baby he couldn't stand to hear her cry and would have to pick her up. Of course, he left all the diapering, cleaning and bathing to Mike's mom, Nana. She didn't mind, as those were her special times with Sarah. After Sarah died, Pop accepted Jesus into his heart, so we know he is in heaven with her right now. This page is a small tribute to Pop and their special bond. |

A Special Bond
(His Heart)
A special bond is what they had,
Whenever together,
they both were so glad.
Sarah and her Pop,
together they would be,
touring the house,
Pop showing her all there was to see.
He loved her from the start,
She instantly became "his heart".
On that tragic September day,
"his heart" was snatched away.
No!, no! this cant be true,
How will he ever make it through.
With the Lord Jesus holding "his heart",
He walked forward and made a start.
With "his heart" in heaven,
so far away,
Here on earth he couldn't stay.
Then in July on that fateful day,
He went to be with Sarah
in her home far away.
There is comfort in knowing
together they frolic and play,
Both together in thier new home
so very far away.
Of that thought I am quite fond,
Knowing they both still
have thier own special bond.

This is a painting Pop had started of Sarah after she died. He was unable to finish it as he could only work on it a few minutes before he would be overcome with emotion. Sadly, he ran out of time before he could get it done. It is very precious to us, even unfinished. |
