I Need Your Help Daddy

I’m tired
I’m Physically and Emotionally tired
I don’t want to be the strong one anymore
I can’t this time
I don’t know what to do Daddy
I need your help down here

I can’t get back in control of my emotions 
I’m having a hard time dealing with your absence
I’m having a hard time standing by myself
I need your help Daddy

I’m broken and lost without you Daddy
I need your will to want to carry on
I need your strength to over come this
I need your strength to stay standing
Your courage to fight back again
I need your help 

Please Daddy I’m at a loss
How am I suppose to do this
I need your guidance 
I need you to guide me back
To whom I was before
I need your help Daddy
I need your help

It s a really sad and heartfelt write, daddies truly are heroes, even if they don t help us, their presence is enough for us, I spend alot of my time with my father, he s my best friend, and my only wish is that when I get successful in my life, he must be with me, he s 60, I m 16 so it s alot of time but I really want him to be alive for next 10 years to see my success. And I m really sorry for your loss, good luck

Thank you! It sure isn't easy! My Dad had just turned 61 on 3/20/13 & I turned 35 nine days after him. Like you I was very close mine. Ppl called me his right hand cause wherever you saw him, you saw me by his side. I truly hope you get to have many many more yrs with yours.

Thank you! I've never been good at expressing my feelings to people face to face, so I put them on paper. I enjoy reading yours. There's a few that feels like your speaking only to me. If that makes sense. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving also.

Thank you! He was always there for me. 2 yrs ago when he started getting sick up until he passed I was with him anyway where from 12-18 hrs out of the day. There were a few 24 hr days. I think that's why it hurts more.
