Its been 23 years since i last felt your arms around me. The last morning I ever saw you, we were on vacation. You had had a heart attack several weeks prior, and the doctors had urged you to stay at home and rest. You were determined to go to the beach and said you could rest there. I knew you just didn't want to disappoint us. After 3 days of mom looking worried and you not sleeping at night because of chest pains, she decided to make you go home. I was 16 and was going to stay behind with friends and come home in a few days. The morning you left, I somehow knew that something bad was wrong. It was. You had a massive heart attack on the interstate and never made it to a hospital. I lost my hero, my superman that day. There is not a day that goes by that I don't feel your arms around me the last morning I saw you. I remember the way you told me that you loved me. The hurt never goes away. It remains as strong today as it was 23 years ago. I miss you. I'd give anything to see you again. I love you. I know I'll see you again someday.

I Miss My Dad
