I Miss My Dad
My Dad died on Valentines day this year 2002. He had been mentally ill for along time and all the years of abuse that he had put his body through finally caught up with him.
I know that what happened to him through the years wasn't his fault, he couldn't help being who he was and having parents that wished he'd never been born or family that abandoned him because he was ill.
I do miss him, I miss the hours of endless chats we used to have, putting the world to rights. The laughter we used to share. I want to ring my Mum up and her to say that she'll put my Dad on the phone, I know that will never happen again. I know that my Mum's going through hell at the moment, but I'm happy that she knows where I am if she wants to talk and I'm glad she feels she can talk to me. It is all I can do to support her at this moment in time.
Three months doesn't seem like a long time does it? But already it seems like an eternity. I'm glad that I have the support of a loving partner to lean on and talk too and tell all the wonderful things about my Dad that he never got to find out.
I just hope that my Dad knew that I Ioved him even though we had our differences now and again and I hope he's proud of me and what I have achieved in my life so far.
I'll never forget you Dad, If I ever have kids they'll know what a wonderful and funny person you were.
I love you x x x x
