Missing My Dad
It was just Father’s Day and the worst one of my life
The first one not celebrated since you have been gone Dad
I thought about you all day with sad tears flowing
Finding peace in all the great memories we shared.
I remember the day we went to the antique store together
Reminiscing about going to auctions as a child with you
We laughed because I now love antiques but didn’t then
The special bedroom set you let me pick out for my room.
That day I backed into a sign pole and upset my husband
You gave such sound advice saying cars are not important
Living your life and spending time with loved ones are!
I wish I could go back to that special Father’s Day
So many memories of you being a great Dad!
I learned so much from you, you were my rock.
I could always pick up the phone and get your advice
I find myself picking up the phone to call, just for a moment.
I sometimes wake up and it still feels surreal you are gone.
I know you are no longer suffering and fighting to stay strong
I just wish We could have had more time together Dad, but
I will forever cherish all the life lessons and memories.
