A tribute to my Dad - Don Savage 1940-2010

A tribute to the most influential & inspirational man ever to have touch my life a man I can so proudly call my Dad, I loved everything about you, even your grumpiness.
I miss you terribly Dad, I miss your laugh and your silly jokes & I miss the fact that you were the best Grandad ever to Jack.
My life will never be the same without you in it Dad, I love you, Im just sorry I never told you enough.

The song is by Eva Cassidy song I played lots whilst you were ill and it will always remind me of you, Cause, I know you by heart.. Dad.
In particular the words...

"We were like children
Laughing for hours
The joy you gave me lives on and on"

Cause I know you by heart.


The Full Words to the song:

Midnights in Winter
The glowing fire
Lights up your face in orange and gold.
I see your sweet smile
Shine through the darkness
It's line is etched in my memory.

So I'd know you by heart.

Mornings in April
Sharing our secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone.
We were like children
Laughing for hours
The joy you gave me lives on and on.

Cause I know you by heart.

I still hear your voice
On warm Summer nights
Whispering like the wind.


You left in Autumn
The leaves were turning
I walked down roads of orange and gold.
I saw your sweet smile
I heard your laughter
You're still here beside me every day.

Cause I know you by heart,
Cause I know you by heart.

Good night god bless Dad till we laugh again xx
