I stepped onto our dear "front porch" last night to capture a small piece of my father...I never intended to post anything. None of the things I was feeling could be put into words...yet, my mom pointed out a few posts. I read my dear sister Annaleah's first, and then a post from my dearest friend Bart. No worldly thing could stop my fingers from sliding over the keys... the only way I could find to express myself were through lyrics I had written... just goes to show that there really is a little piece of my dad in me... Countless nights, my dad sat here... in the very spot I rest now, reading posts from his dearest friends and family. Every day - whether he felt up to it or not - he would shuffle to the computer, only to spend the next few hours reading every word written that day, and concerning himself with everything that was going on. He loved every one of you here so much. His main conversation topic with our family was "the front porch". I know we will all miss him dearly... but I also know that he will always remain unforgotten. Thank you all so much for making my father the person he was.
My sincerest love and support, Laura Shayne
p.s. To my brother Joe: It's been too long. I love you, and I can't wait to wrap my arms around you! p.s. To Granny and Uncle Jerry: same goes to you two! :P I love you!!
