Paul Delmar Vestal

Was Not Ready I did not want to lose you, I was not quite ready yet But with all the pain you dealt with I know that it was best. Because each day I feel you I no longer feel the fear Of going down the road of life, coming closer to God oh so near. And as each day draws to an end, I feel you hear with me, Then when I close my eyes to sleep, I know that you are free. Free from the pains that you had endured and all that had gone wrong I always feel you near me now and I know that you're singing a song. My pain it seems to linger but soon it too will pass For all the love I have for you will forever last. By: Danielle Ferrigno Dedicated to My Father Paul Delmar Vestal

Although we all knew he was dying, his death was extremely hard on me.  We hadn't always had the best relationship.  I loved him dearly and he will always be a part of me and my children.  When he died we were coming closer and I felt his goodbye in the last visit we had.  I know in my heart it was for the best as his pain was extreme, but I can't keep from getting teary eyed everytime I think of him.  I wrote the poem above soley for him, I miss him as does the rest of the family but I know that he is right there above me watching out for us all.
