My Dad and Me
It was so sad
to watch you fade
your mind
as sharp as a knife
It was so hard
to say goodbye
To such a treasured life
It made me smile
to think on you a while
and on how you loved
your wife
Your children given
all you had
you gave
a treasured life
It seems that you
are still here
although you can’t
be seen
I often talk to you
And not just
in my dreams
I hope I told you
I loved you enough
I hope you know
how much I cared
And I know
one day,
I’ll see you again
Somewhere over there…

I’m extremely impressed along with your writing skills and also with the format in your

So hard it is to say goodbye to someone you love. Talk to them often we still do. Parents who took care of us and showed us how to be most of all. Have a blessed, fun and pain free (as far as possible) week my very dear friend, Kait, love and kindness from me to you as always xoxo

Losing a loved soul is the toughest thing we have to go through. I just lost one I loved more than anything else and it’s so hard. But truth is, I know he’s looking after me, guiding me, helping me through this time of sorrow. And so also, your dad will remain Ur guardian angel, and will always be around. Wish u strength.

Oh thank you so much and yes, I do believe he is around me, particularly when I think of him and need him. I still talk to him too 🙂 I’m so sorry for your loss and know I am thinking of you and giving you strength to get through this time too, it’s never easy and the hurt can be fresh like dew on the grass, even after time, but the love I have for my dad remains a constant. Blessings to you and thank you for sharing 🙂

Such is the irony of life. All those efforts, dreams, hopes, memories – all gone one day – in the blink of an eye. This reminds me of a quote by Yeats – Life is a long preparation for something that never happens. Touching piece 🙂

Lost is always hard to forget, yet so easy to remember. The days slow, as your heart wraps itself around your mind. You pause, rewinding that hug, kiss, conversation; it plays over and over. You even attempt to fastforward time, in hopes you see them again. Lost is so hard to forget, yet so easy to remember. And you did a great job of capturing in. Beautiful….
