I Miss My Dad
hi Dad. I really miss you. I need to talk to you, and I need you to answer me back. I need to hear your voice, see you laugh and feel you hug me. I know you didn't expect to die and leave me alone, I certainly didn't expect you to die. I don't blame you for dying - I just wished that I had one more day with you. One more day to tell you everything that I should have told you. Things I know you knew already, but things that I wanted to say again. Things that I needed to tell you. I am so proud and lucky to have you as my dad.
I remember the one day when you and I walked to the 7-11 from our house - just you and me. I think that was one of the best days ever - I think I was about 13 years old at the time. I remember the day like it was yesterday - so clear in my memory. I just remember thinking as I was walking that I have the greatest dad in the world.
The other kids are telling me that I was your favorite of all your four children. I'm ok with that. You are my favorite too.
I was going through things at your house the other day - figuring out what to do with certain things that remind me of you. I saw your collection of coffee mugs. Remember how we'd give you one for every holiday? No ties for you - fantastic mugs. I saw each one and even though I didn't remember when we gave them to you - I remember picking them out. Each one had a specific reason at the time we bought it.
I know that I'll write more to you - it makes me feel better knowing that I can get these thoughts out of my head. I only wished that I wrote down some of your old stories.
I will love you forever. When it's my time to go, please make sure that you are there to help me through. It will be like we're walking to the 7-11 again.
