I Miss My Dad
We buried you two weeks ago, Dad. My heart aches to see you, to hear your voice. We were so close, talked every day (sometimes about nothing at all) ... I'm devastated. Sometimes I turn, expecting to see you coming up the walk and then reality knocks the wind out of me. Although I'm a grown man, I always felt comfortable in the world knowing you were there for me. Mom, of course, can hardly bear to face the day let alone "tomorrow". I told you I love you many times during your brief illness but it didn't seem enough. Some of the terrible medical procedures you had to endure...I wish that I could have taken these in your place. I'm trying to comfort Mom and let her know that she will eventually feel better but she feels physically ill and emotionally hopeless. I know this is not what you would want for us, but I also know that it is the cost of loving someone as much as we love you. I will accept any sign that you are with us, and until we meet again, I will look in my heart to find you. Your loving son, Mike.
