I Don'T Want To Be Sad Anymore

I don't want to be sad anymore I want to laugh and play with my kids on a beautiful summer's day. But just so you know, I still miss your call at 8:10. I still miss coffee with my friend. I even buy you a milky way Every now and then. And when I do or say something wrong. I still hear your voice loud and strong. The tears are few now My memories clear It's been a while Sometimes, I even smile. I think you would understand I don't want to be sad anymore DAD You taught me that.

Oh gosh, this is so sad. Very beautiful and so touching. It really went straight to my gut and made my eyes tear up. I miss my mom, and though it gets easier, the loss still hurts and always will. Excellent write. Love, Shar
