In Memory Of William Schmeer II September 1, 1952 - May 1, 2000 Loving Father, Grandfather, Brother And Son
My Father, My Guardian Angel Dedicated to O. P. Torri Written By Angel Whitefang
Dearest Father, Where have you gone? I hear your voice no more. In my dreams I see you but when I awake you are not to be found. What has this child done wrong for you to abandon her? Did I cry too much as a babe in the crib? Was I not a happy child? You left us behind, not a backward glance did you give, I lived my life with out you, I felt as if falling off a cliff. On the days as a child in school, Fathers would come pick up their children they would hug them and tell them they loved them. I would watch and my heart would yearn to hear you say these words to me, but alas it was never to be. Fake Fathers who were not interested in what your young girl had to say , crossed the path of my life and then faded away. Now I am a woman, with babes of my own, never would I leave them, straying far from home would never cross my mind. They have a Father who loves them like no other. I watch them grow and see what you and I have missed.
Then on that fateful day the news comes that you have passed over the abyss. I lay on my bed and cry for my hope is gone. The day we could have met has long since gone. My Father dearest Father, I love you so much, Please don?t take your spirit from me, please keep in touch.
I have met my siblings today, You know, the Older ones that were taken when you went away. They are loving and kind just as I thought they would be. Sissy has presented me with a very special gift, as I unwrap it my eyes well up , my throat tightens as my heart beats so quickly in my chest that I feel it just might burst through,It is hard to speak, I squeek out a small "Thank you". Holding it close to my chest I can not believe that I now have a Picture of you. I look in the mirror, I look just like you. The Brown Curly hair that flies away, the large Brown eyes, the crooked nose, the winning smile that you show. They are all mine too, oh father why did you go? With resolve I place your picture by my bed and know that some day the tears that were shed will not have been in vain But, for tonight I must rest and get rid of this pain.
As I snuggle down under my sheets I feel a warm arm encircle me. My husband is working late, I know it isn?t him. I lay there not moving wondering who this could be.
Then suddenly you whisper to me. My Dearest Daughter, I hear you say. I love you more each and every day. I never left you, in your heart I remained. I am with you forever you are my girl, for love has no boundaries, like in the flesh world. I sit with you when you drive; I play with your hair. I am always with you. The accident that you almost had today, that was me with that gave you that warning to stay for a second longer at the green light. I could not bear to see you in pain. I love you with all my heart and forever will I stay. Till the day I bring you home with me will I be with you. I am sorry for the pain, you were never supposed to be without, and you are a fine young woman and have made me proud. A gentle kiss I feel you place on my cheek, sighing deeply I fall in to a deep sleep. Upon waking I roll over and see, my husband sleeping next to me. I sit up gently, a smile on my face. He rolls over and looks up at me asking ? How did you sleep?? Smiling I reply? I had a visit with my Father and found that he is my friend.? Reaching out he pulls me too him and the tears run anew. ?He loves me!? I tell him, my sobs rocking my body. He encircles me tighter and whispers to me ? If he didn?t he would not have been your Father.?
Now every day I wake, I kiss my fathers picture and ask ?How are you today?? You may think I?m crazy, but I truly don?t care. Live my life if you dare. I know my Father loves me and forever he will. I have a friend forever, even if he can be stern. He is my Guardian Angel.
*hands Cel a Tissue Box* Well I cried when I was writing them and I cry when I read them, so your in good company, tell Allen Bro to Read them and tell you what he thinks of them. Lets see if he can keep his eyes dry!
It takes a special person to lay their heart open to the world as you have with these wonderful words, maybe some day I shall be as brave.
Beautiful

I am Wolf. It is my cry you hear in the night, My eyes that gaze at you from the shadows. It is my heart that beats in your Soul, My strength that makes you whole. I am Wolf. I am in you. You are in Me. We Are Wolf.

Angel, How beautifully put. You have a way with words. I especially liked when you said that you can be with your best friend and do anything or nothing and have the best time. That is very true.
And your father, thank you for putting your heart here for us to read. I felt my heart break, but at the end felt a big hug.
Therasa
Thank you for the kind words Theresa. I get a hug from him every day!
I guess it was just my way of letting the wounds heal.
