List
#1 Happy birthday in heaven, Dad. You are still here even though you’re not with me physically. Your love has never diminished and your strength is still with me every day. When I feel alone, your wisdom reminds me to stay strong through the hard times. On this day, when you would have been celebrating another year of living, I would like to tell you happy birthday, and let you know how much I love you.
#2 Happy birthday to my amazing father who is celebrating life in heaven today. You were the best dad a child could ask for – loving, devoted, and kind. Though we are apart now, your lessons live on every day, and I celebrate your life with you, too.
#3 Happy birthday in heaven, Dad! I’ll love you for always, no matter how much time passes. You are my hero and my constant source of inspiration. My life is better because you were here. I will celebrate your life every day until we are together again.
#4 Happy birthday in heaven to the greatest father ever!

But we’ll never tire of telling you how much we love and miss you and wish that we could see your smiling face again. We hope our lives reflect all the things that made yours so wonderful. No one can ever take your place in our hearts.
#5 Happy birthday in heaven to the man who always amazed me with how much he loved us all! You will always be my idol and role model, no matter how many years have passed since you were taken from this world too soon. I know you must be so proud of what we’ve accomplished in this time without you, but missing you never goes away.

#6 Dad, happy birthday! There is nothing about our lives now that you aren’t still a part of. I know you are watching us wherever we go and whatever we do, happy that your children have turned into the adults you always wanted them to be. You were our rock when times got tough, and now that you are gone, all of us feel so lost without your steady hand. We hope you are doing okay where ever it is that your soul resides.
#7 To my dad who has found peace in heaven! There may not be any more birthdays or Father’s Days for you on earth but today I am sending up wishes for peace over your life as well as love! We are doing fine without you Dad but it isn’t easy especially with everyone missing you so much!

I love and miss you dad!

#11 When we first realized it was going to be difficult to have a relationship with you, we were heartbroken beyond words.

Even though life without you is difficult, we will celebrate you and keep your memories alive. Happy birthday in heaven to the best father anyone could ask for!
#12 Dear Dad, I miss you so much. The pain of losing you has not diminished with time, but instead continues to grow stronger as I realize how much I miss sharing my days with you.

#15 When I was young, you taught me how to live life through strength and courage.

Thank you for being the best dad in heaven.
