I Miss My Dad


I am 50 years old and lost my father to a heart attack when I was 18. I had my mother until I was 42 years old. Now I am an orphan without parents. Does the feeling of Loss ever really go away? I don't think so! My parents are my guarding angels and when I want to see them again I look at pictures for days and then they come to my dreams and I feel so satisfied seeing them and hear them speak to me! On their birthdays we light candles and share a treat and watch home movies and it reminds of all the LOVE and HAPPINESS that we had on their birthday's. At first, everywhere I went I cried, I'd see people who looked like them, or I would hear someone order their favorite food, or I'd see a daddy with a little girl and I 'd wish it was me. I went to a grieving class for 1 year and I shared all my feelings, all my sadness and came out of the group feeling happy! It's okay to feel sad, it's okay to remember, infact it's important to remember all you can, and keep that spirit alive inside you forever! You don't have to stay sad, or mad, or confused. It helps if you have a place to share your feelings, try not to hold them in, because you will smile again without feeling guilty, you will laugh again and not feel ashamed, you will cry again and that's okay to! This is life, our life in this world, so treasure your family, your friends, life can be short, so think about the nice things you can say to someone you love! God Bless HEK
