In Memory of My Dad

As some my know my Dad passed away this past Feb. at a young age of 47. It was a really tough time for me and my family. I wrote this a month after he passed and wanted to share. Maybe it will help anyone else who is suffering with a lost of someone dear or sudden.

Has it really been Dad?

It's hard to believe that a month has come and gone dad. I still look toward the heavens and cry out why. It is in these times I look into my heart and find you there. You always wanted to do so much but your body had grown so tired. So many memories flood my mind and every day it seems to bring a new one to mind; some past game or joke you had to play, a new star trek movie for you and me, a roller coaster ride we just had to try, always you were a kid at heart. I can not believe a month has gone, so many things I wish I could have said. I thought we had so much more time but I was so wrong. I wish I could have just one more chance to tell you I love you, just one more moment to hear you laugh, just one more song to hear you play on your guitar, just one last hug and one last kiss but I'm left here with bitter sweet memories. Memories to pass down to my children and theirs, memories to hold so dear, memories of your laughter, your love, you life that has touched so many, more than you ever knew. I can't believe a month has gone, the tears still fall as the memories of you still flood my mind and heart. I make a promise never to forget the love and life you have given me. So Dad I'm left with these sweet memories to help me through until the day when I leave this world and join you in heaven. I love you Dad!!!!!!!!!
