Love your poems. Having a hard time finding something from stepdad to stepdaughter from heaven for her wedding day.

My dad passed away this past August suddenly, with no warning. I have three older sisters who have all gotten married and their husbands got so lucky to have the chance to call him "dad". My family is so close and our dad was truly our hero. I can't make it through a whole day without tears, knowing that he is actually gone. I will never have my dad walk me down the aisle or give me away. This poem really hit me hard but I am glad that I found it. Thank you.

Our son died 8 years ago, this April. He loved his daughters so very much. They meant everything to him. His oldest girl is getting married next month. I know he would be there if he could. Who knows? Maybe he will be. My daughters and I are giving this framed poem, complete with photos of him and the bride, as a shower gift. I expect, we'll all be crying.

My dad passed away 4 months before my wedding. I decided to walk down the aisle alone as I knew he would be at my side. That was 39 years ago this June. My dad passed on Feb 15. This beautiful poem makes me cry even after all these years because I know this is what he was saying as we took that walk together. I saw this post on Feb 15...I think this is a sign.

My cousin asked me to read this at her sister's wedding recently. It's a beautiful poem and can be delivered very positively. I hope you don't mind that I put the groom's name in place of 'his'. I wasn't sure if 'place your hand in his' referred to the groom or God. I wanted to personalize it. The Bride really appreciated it. Thank you to the writer.

My Niece/Daughter is getting married. My brother died in 2000. I have helped raise her from the time she was born. My husband & I took her in before he passed. I want to surprise her with this poem on her wedding day with a picture of him & I also bought a CD of Angel in my arms that we are surprising her with too.

My son is getting married May 26th 2012. His Bride to be, just lost her Dad 3 days ago. She is so upset that she will not have her dad to walk her down the aisle. Maybe she can carry this poem with her. It would be a way for her dad to be there with her.

I am 16 right now, not getting married yet, but this poem touched me as well. It has been hard lately because I miss my dad who passed away when I was 5 years old. It is like the grief is hitting me hard, again. This is great, you (author) should continue writing poems! :) I hope anyone in a similar situation as mine and/or the author's will be calmed by this poem and my own story as well. We aren't alone; and the situation can almost always have been worse.

My sister is getting married May 2 2011, and our father passed away a year ago. I am going to have my cousin read this before the ceremony starts. I know I wouldn't be able to I would be balling the whole time, when I read this I started crying immediately. Thank you for writing this, it is perfect.

The poem touched my heart. Leads me in to tears and cry very much:( I remember my true father died on the same day:( It is really painful to celebrate your happiest day which is getting married with someone you love even you didn't know that the happiest day would be the last day of the first guy who loves you first.:( since you are in this world:(

It was on a whim I found this poem and it brought me to tears. I am getting married on April 18 2010 and my father has just passed (July 2, 2009). Our wedding favors are donations to the American Lung Association in honor of my father, John J. Burns, and his loss in the battle against cancer. This poem will be proudly framed and placed on a table with the favors. I want to thank you so much for writing this and helping me and my family remember my father on the day that I will miss him most.
