I Miss My Dad
Dear Dad,
It has almost been a week since you have left us. Your battle with cancer was hard at the end and I am so glad you do not hurt anymore. I was so glad I could care for you each day for the last three weeks of your life. I was so glad to be with you that early morning on June 12th, 2001 when you passed away so peacefully. Today it is Father's day and I miss you so much that I feel empty, like a part of me has died. Last night I had a terrible dream of you and it made me so upset. I want a sign to know that you are okay and are in heaven and at peace. I just want to know that you are still with me and watching over me. I promised you that I would not let you suffer and that you would die with dignity and I am glad that I could do that for you. You died with dignity and style, just how you lived your life. You fought for our Country and sacrificed you life many times for all of us to be free in America. You are a patriot, a warrior, a gentleman, the best father a girl could ever ask for. I miss my dad, my friend. I can still hear you call me sweetheart and give me your words of wisdom whenever times were hard for me. Please be with me dad because I know you will always live through me. I hate that you will never walk me down the aisle or see your future grandchildren, but I will continue to make you proud of me and live a brave honorable life as you always taught us to do. I LOVE YOU!!!! I miss you, but I will be brave as you said that this was a time for bravery. You were only 56 when you left us and I will remember you as a young, adventurous, intelligent, interesting man. I will honor you as long as I live. We will be taking you to Arlington National Cemetery soon where you will receive full honors. I will see you there dad and I know you will be smiling down on the ceremony that will be as moving as you have always been. Thank you for everything dad.
