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. 6/28/2020 Contest: In Loving Memory Sponsor: Regina Riddle

Oh Tania, what a wonderful tribute to your dad! I’m glad this won.I especially liked the part about going antiquing with him. It makes me feel sad for my own dad. He died 28 years ago when I was a teenager. I’m sorry you have to go through this.
