I Miss My Dad


Dad,
I knew all my life that emphysema would kill you. I spent all my life trying to figure out how i would deal with your death. I spent years fearing it, and years feeling scared for you. I am glad you did not have to be on oxygen and in a wheel-chair, that would have been hard for you. Yesterday was Patrick's first birthday, and I thank God every minute of his life that you stuck around long enough to meet him. It was still such a surprise when you died. He was not even a month old. It has been so hard to be happy with my second son, and to grieve your loss as well. I told you the day that you died that I was going to miss you, though I told you every day of my life that I loved you, It took me days to work up the courage to say that. I know you know that and that I miss you so much dad. I miss you all the time. Nolan misses you so much too. He asks me where Heaven is almost every day, he says he wants to go there and be with you. I tell him you are with him all the time. I hope you are. I love you Dad.
