It's not me...a friend of mine wrote:My father passed away 1 year ago today..
It still feels like he's just a phone call away.. Even tho I know he is not..
It's amazing how fast one year can go by..
Dad.. I hope you are doing well, Doing what ever you want to do..
I can just imagine you having a permanent note on your door..."Gone Fishing"
I still feel lost every day... My life is changing in many ways..
I just hope that I can still make you proud.
I know you always wanted me to be happy and cook for a living.
And that is what I am working on doing now.
Leaving my job soon, and hope you give me the strength I need to get through the hardships that are to come.
I found this poem that I wrote when I was younger.. It was for my dad..
But for some reason.. At that time we weren't talking much.. I wrote it when I was 17.. But the words will always be true.
I put it away because I was scared of giving it to him(we weren't big on the emotional stuff).. and I found it a few days ago while going through boxes of pages....
Here it is..
From my childhood to my teenage years,
I've never had to worry, because you were always near.
Through every bad night, where I couldn't sleep,
You would give me a talk, and that is all I would need.
To keep the monsters from haunting my dreams
Having you there kept them away from me.
From my first pair of shoes, to when I learned to ride a bike,
If I would ever get hurt, You were always there to hold my tight.
I don't think I ever thought of telling you,
How much I appreciate all that you do,
But I hope you know I wouldn't be what I am now,
If you wouldn't of helped me and showed me how.
There is no doubt in my mind you are the best Dad ever,
To pay you back for all you've done, would take forever.
I don't think you know, how amazing a Dad you are,
In my mind and heart, You surpass anyone by far.
It took me 17 years to realize how lucky I am,
To have a Dad like you, that I can also call a friend.
But now I finally see, Everything you have done for me.
I am grateful for everything you have done..
And now I hope we can someday have some fun...
I miss you Dad.......
