To my husband of almost 53 years ,our life together was very simple one ,as we both loved our home & children dearly ,when u had to travel to far away place like NFLD for weeks they were my strength & comfort,, as they were a part of you & me ,I missed u so much each day ,,but more today that ever since god called you home ,Our children now Ron has a life of their own to live ,,I now am alone trying to face each day without you by my side to help me along my journey in life having to make decisions on my own ,But I can still hear a voice saying to me What ever u think Dear ,for years Ron I watch a man of strength never sick taking on jobs that were never once thought to be hard for you ,Looking back on it all now ,All you ever asked for was simple life treasures cooked meals on time ,good cup of tea and most of all A homemade Biscuit & your favorite Tv Shows & Family sticking together come what may ,I always said I fell in LOVE with your beautiful Brown Eyes oh how I miss them now each day,, i look at your picture and talk to you praying you can see what u meant to me over all those wonderful years we shared time together ,never did travel much that wasn,t our thing in life, Just being together was all we asked for in life ,Now looking back on it all Ron my thought were unfair i guess seeing you being the GAINT MAN of strength that you were Never sick in your years of work had to be on the work job everyday I felt you could handle anything ,but slowly I found u to be not that person any longer ,The years of hard work were taking a big part of your health away for you ,,So blessed to had found you having you in my life that long as some don,t get that much time together like Donnie & Kimberley,, Life Yes can be so unfair at times ,Praying we meet again someday soon ,Your Words to me i will never forget were this ,,,The first time i saw you when walking down the steps from your work at NB TEL ,I knew when i saw you it was love at first glance and you would be mine ,yes Ron u were so right ,love forever till we meet again my love

I can't remember the first few years Dad , only what you and mom told me. I can remember you learning me how to tie my shoes but we didn't use a shoe we used your body hammer from work , and I can still remember you sitting beside me as I tried and tried and tried and then finally I got it . Ants in the pants are still a memory from long ago , I think you let me win I can still remember how excited I would get when you got the groceries I knew there was going to be a matchbox car waiting for me . When I look back now Dad the small things are what meant the most . You never did run did you Dad it was about those special times we spent together.
Let's walk together again Dad I must of been watching you using a saw and hammering nails because you got me a tool set and I can still remember that the toy saws back then were actually a little sharp , so much so I tried to saw off the table legs.. What could you do ? It was just another step along the walk. I can still remember when we used to go to the dive in , we would get our pyjamas and pillows ready as went to see a movie. and Sunday night hockey games mike would go with us he sure liked his orange crush ,Thank You Dad. I can still remember when you started traveling to support you family we all missed you and I couldn't wait until you called , I missed you so much . Thank grampie once again for the $20 he gave me to go with you to Newfoundland I can still remember how upset I was when I heard you were going . I guess that was part of the walk I didn't like you were leaving me , but you always came back.
I can still remember the day I went to work at the Sussex Refrigeration and found out I would be working with you , remember I couldn't read a tape and I thought about calling a sixteeneth of an inch a ticky , Once again you took the time to learn me the right way . It was hard Dad when the refrigeration closed wasn't it but you learned me perseverance ,we just kept going along the path together . we did so good when we started our own business together , we just knew each others next steps and we met some wonderful people along the way and made many memories that I will never forget When it was time for you to retire ,I didn't know if I could do it alone but for some reason the lessons you learned me started to make sense ,
The only problem was the walk was starting to get a little lonely you weren't there as much , but you always wanted to know when I saw you again how the day went .
Now Dad that our walk together here is over , I want to run to see you again , but I can still remember " No Running In The House " . So I will take the rest of my walk without you , every step is leading me forward and how ever long it takes I know you will be waiting .
Thanks for the walk Dad that turned into a journey I loved every step .
Kevin

Forgive me God if I seem angry, but you have taken away my strength, my courage, and another important person in my life. First Don, now Dad, who will be next?
Do I forgive you again? Can I find the forgiveness in my heart somehow? He was supposed to be here to see his Granddaughter Sarah graduate next year, her Father is not here for the First Dance of the Prom, Father and Daughter dance. Buppy can't be here either for the dance.
Owen, my nephew going into Middle School, all the excitement of a different school, new friends, wanting to tell Puppy how his day went. Going to his first funeral, to bury his Grandfather.
Cayden, my big-brown-eyed little nephew who doesn't understand any of this at all, asking where Puppy hid his wings when he had to fly up to heaven.
Our Sweet Pea Allie my little niece who will blossom into the magnificent young lady, I know she will be. Her first day of school next year. Not understanding at all the empty chair where Puppy always sat.
Yes, I think that I have the right to be angry. Bad Things happened to Good People as they say. I don't pray enough, go to church enough, what is the reason?
As Ron said, is it wrong to be selfish, because we want you here with us to have things the way they were? Christmas, Birthdays, Anniversary, Father's Day. How do we even begin to get through the anxiety, the fear, the feeling like your losing control, because we couldn't do anything at all to keep you here with us?
Friday August 15th at 7:15am when you left us, all I wanted to do was kick, scream, and break everything in sight. But I turned and smiled I saw the look of contentment and peace on your face, Kevin saw it too. You were happy with your life, you had a devoted wife, three wonderful children, four beautiful grandchildren and it was time for you to go to be with God. Like they say don't cry for me because I'm gone, Rejoice for me because I lived a full life.
I called the house today hoping to hear your voice on the other end of the line. I think I let it ring 20 times, hoping you would pick up, maybe you were downstairs or just outside. For one split second maybe the last 5 days were really just a bad dream, everything was fine. But my heart dropped, my anxiety level went up, there was no answer. Not a dream, cruel reality of the last 5 days.
You have always been there for me no matter what the situation, I could always count on you, and you were just a phone call away. There will be no more phone calls, no more cups of tea, no more McDonald's for a muffin and tea, no more funny stories, no more saying I Love you, no more hugs, no more of anything. A huge part of me went with you the day God called you home, I understand we all must make this journey alone, but Daddy I Miss You every second, every minute, every hour, every day.
So wait for me in Heaven Dad
Don't let me come alone
The day the angels come for me
Please be there to bring me home

It's the day of your death and I am having a difficult time to speak the words that I need to speak. I am assuming the best place to start is to say "I Love You". The morning you passed I felt a part of me leave and know it is something that I can never replace. All I could think of was why did you leave me, what I am going to do, I need you...then I stopped and said "why am I being so selfish"...I guess it was because you are my Dad and I cherished you with every beat of my heart. They say time heals all wounds but of course I must not have understood...yes Dad I should have asked more questions when I did not understand something...time will heal all wounds but the journey to get there is going to be a difficult one. So, I am assuming with talking, sharing memories and tears being shed seems likes a great place to add a bandaid to the wound and to start the time on the clock.
When it was time to leave you at the hospital I made the long journey to my car to start the drive home without you. The selfishness set in again... what was I going to do, where are you, I need you and then I looked around and noticed you are still there. My hands, my smile, my feet, my speech, my hair...no comments please on the "hair" as I come by this honestly don't I dad? You held my hands when I was learning to walk, you taught me to throw a ball, you taught me to drive and so far the best advise you provided me was to say "yes dear" or "your right dear" it works like a charm...thank you dad.
The drive home from Saint John was very quiet, really what was there to say I just lost you, we all did. We took the ramp to get off the highway and headed into Sussex and I heard the words from my sister Kim that dad always said when we came back from Saint John..."we back in Canada"...all I could do was laugh. I know what you all are thinking, no he didn't get out much...what a card. At this momemt my bandaid grew bigger to cover the wound even more as I see now he is within all of us and will never be forgotten.
When finally arriving at the Mom and Dad's house I knew this was going to be the tough step as you where not there. We made it inside the house and I could not do it very long...I looked in the room that you always were and it was empty. Tears of sadness and questions of why started setting in again and I had to leave as it was too much. I needed to go home to be with Hughanna and my babies to help add another band aid to the wound. I made it home and a feeling of love and comfort settled in. The words of Alfred Lord Tennyson "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" is an amazing quote as my wife Hughanna is my love, my soul-mate, my everything and this is what my mother lost and if you have never loved anything then please take the chance.
My 3 babies, Owen, Cayden and Allyson all had questions about "Puppy"...if you didn't know they called my father "Puppy". At that moment I did not want my babies to grow up, as part of their innocences was going to be lost. The toughest question of all was "how did puppy get his wings?" "did Uncle Kevin help put them on...trying to think quickly all I could say was "yes". Then the mouse on the wheel in my head started going a little faster and I thought everyone helped Puppy with his wings. All the love, memories, stories and amazing things that have happened in his life and ours is part of Puppy and us as a Family.
Thank you Dad for everything...and I hope the clock for healing goes very slow as I don't want to forget anything. If it means more tears, hurt and anxiety I am fine with this as I know it is a step in a direction we shared together.
Love,
Ron Jr.

God gives us many gifts in our lives to help us through but to be granted a gift specially made by God himself with his own heart that would touch my life and the life of others like my Dad did was truly one of the greatest gifts I will receive, Dad was a man who loved to just sit and talk to you about your day and how it went , I know that is where I got my love of tea and that was from him we shared many cups, Working with Dad was truly a blessing and many cups of tea were spent with the different people we worked for, He love doing carpentry work and it showed in the work he done, He worked hard all his life to provide for his family and that was his greatest purpose in life, The emptiness is real now that he is gone but I know there is a purpose god needed a carpenter with a heart like his , And to fill the emptiness I remember what my niece said a few years ago every day is not a day away from Dad it is day closer, I love You Dad and I miss you,
P,S, Thank You God for giving me such a great Dad
