Called Away

I Got A Call The Other Day. They Said That You Had Passed Away. I Didn't Want To Believe It Was True. It Made Me Very Very Blue. I Said, To Myself, "How Could This Be ?" This Just Does Not Seem Real To Me. There Was So Much To Still Work Out. So Much, Yet, To Talk About. But I Guess God Decided It Was Your Time. So He Took You To Live In His Paradise. Free From The Pain That You Lived With. Free From The Suffering That Would Not End. I Just Hope You Know That I Did Love You And I'll Think Of You Each Passing Day. Your Death Has Caused Us Many Tears, But We'll Cherish Your Memory Throughout The Coming years. And I Know That, In Time, I'll Come To Realize That Your Passing Was Not A Time To Cry. And That God Needed Another Angel With Him In The Sky. And I Know That, For All Of Us, You'll Never Be Far. Because You'll Live On Forever In All Of Our Hearts. Rest In Peace Dad... We All Love You !!

Thanks everyone for the awesome comments. @PoetDestroyer: My fiance and I moved away from where I was born and raised (Wisconsin) and moved to Washington State and away from my family. I anticipated, upon moving, that it would be the last time I'd see my Dad alive. But no matter how "prepared" a person THINKS they are... they are never really prepared for that phone call. Thanks for the sympathy !!
