I love your passion for sports and your athleticism,
I love your enthusiasm for life in general, your spirit,
you will come up with something fun to do at the drop of a hat,
it seems that your motto is: "This is life, let's be in it".
And we just wanted to say Happy 25th Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you Mom and Dad, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least, another twenty five more.
94 wonderful years full of hard work, fun and excitement,
Vivian was the last of her generation and truly loved by all,
she celebrated life and taught us all to do the same,
and to pick yourself up whenever you stumble or fall.
When I was a little girl,
I always dreamed of this day,
I knew the words off by heart,
I knew exactly what I would say.
Because The Drink is a dreadful thing,
it will make you obese and make you fat,
and the more that you drink, the more you will drink,
it's addictive, it's as simple as that.
The most loving person you could ever meet,
your infectious laugh would light up any room,
and now you have gone, the world seems darker,
how we need your smile to lift the gloom.
And I imagined my Daddy,
walking me down that aisle,
I could see the look on his face,
I could see the pride in his smile.
So Happy 75th Birthday,
That's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our love, for evermore.
Hear me, my darling, speaking sooth,
Gather the fleet flower of your youth,
Take ye your pleasure at the best;
Be merry ere your beauty flit,
For length of days will tarnish it
Like roses that were loveliest.
Always in a good mood, ready to do something else,
and I must admit, you did like to joke around,
but what I wouldn't give to hear your laugh once more,
because truly, it really was such a happy sound.
I remember when you came home and said you were born again,
and I think that rebirth made you a better man,
you seemed kinder, closer, you said ?I love you? more,
and spending time with us became your lifelong plan.
But I?m so glad you?ve found your happiness,
because in this life, you?ve given enough blood,
and now you?re ?flashier than a gold toothed rat?,
and you really do look as ?happy as a pig in mud?.
And I know that He keeps you safe on the road,
and there's many seniors that you've driven all around,
you're appreciated by many, especially this family,
we know that it's a pure and precious gem that we've found.
And I'll never forget our beautiful, so perfect wedding,
I don't remember ever feeling as happy as I did on that day,
I will never forget the way you looked at me as you spoke,
your eyes said everything that you needed to say.
What a happy anniversary
I'm like a teenager waiting for her boyfriend to call,
and although I laugh at myself, I run when the phone rings,
because I know you will be on the other end of the line,
and I know just what happiness your voice brings.
But life doesn't always run to plan,
I guess that's plain to see,
and some things just go and happen,
some things are just meant to be.
You did everything for me and you were happy to do it,
but your overwhelming generosity had no ends,
because you would do anything for anybody,
and you're missed by many loyal and trusted friends.
You?re a fabulous grandfather and papa,
and I can?t wait until our baby meets you, face to face,
because I know <NAME> and <NAME> love you so,
and you?ve made all our world?s a much better place.
But this is meant to be a happy day,
happier for others than for some,
and I just wanted to share some thoughts,
because I wanted to tell you about my Mom:
My Dad also has a good sense of humor,
and most importantly, he has a good heart,
although at times, he can very competitive,
and when he's right it's "next case" (as he is very smart).
And I will also always be there for you,
if you ever need a shoulder or a helping hand,
divided we shall fall and be conquered,
but together and united we will make a stand.
We just can't understand why you were taken from us,
but I guess in the end, you had to answer God's call,
He obviously had a greater purpose for you up there,
although what you achieved on Earth was by no means small.
