I miss you Daddy

[DoExDeath]

I feel so alone without you by my side. I wondered why of all people God chose you to bring back home, then I realized how much love you instilled in my life and I don't really have to wonder anymore, because I know that in heaven he needed you to brighten up the skies and the heavens with your smile and love.

Everyday I wake up and feel this emptiness inside of me that cannot be filled by anything, I miss you Daddy and there is not much I can do about it, I would have never thought that the day would come when you wouldn't be here any more. Yet I can tell you that I carry you in my heart and spirit like a torch that guides me through the good and bad.

I miss you Daddy, I am thankful because I wouldn't be who I am without you, you helped mold me into who I am now, into a person who can love and care about others as you always did.

One day we will meet again, I am as sure of this as I am sure that if you would have had a choice you would still be here with us. But I knew you had to go, your body couldn't take the pain anymore and I wouldn't have asked you to stay, for it would have been selfish, and cruel.

I love you Daddy....

Awww... Doe, I'm so sorry. I lost my dad, too.

Everything that happened before he passed made you who you are... and everything you do after his death is because of his life.

I tried for the longest time to make sense of it - my life was complete chaos - and dispair. True dispair.

It will get better. The pain will always be there, and no one will ever understand, but I promise it will get better.

Take what you've learned from his life - and his love - and share it in ways people will never understand -- after all, they don't have to, as long as you do. :)

*hugs* :hug:

*hugs you* gosh.....heheh well one thing about being a good poet is being able to move people even with the most painfull poems......and it worked heheh, really really from the heart.......

Hugs back to you both, thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my poem, I think there is a poet in everyone, all you have to do is not be scared to open your heart and let others see your battle scared and sometimes bruised soul.

And Hot Chief, sometimes no one understands us, but you know, the glow you feel when you do something your dad would have been proud of, is the touch of his angel wings enveloping you in his love!

It's weird to read that today.. I saw a movie that reminded me of my dad a little while ago. The movie I saw inspired me to oneday write a novel that has a character based on my relationship with him... He adopted me when I was about 2. He was not in my life very long... However, he was there long enough to have the strongest impact in my life over anyone else...

Thanks for being brave enough to share something so personal and moving.

wow, I think you all are amazing.

Thanks Doe for your encouragement :)

Touching and even more importantly, truthful.
I won't pretend to understand what you're going through but i respect your poem and it does put thngs in perspective. Must be hard dealing with the loss, but judging by your words i'd say you were doing a very good job.
