My Dad

It's a waste of your time asking if I'm okay. I don't want to hear that he went to a better place that day. I will never stop wondering "why?" I will never forgive myself for not saying good-bye. You could tell me that you understand this kind of sorrow. But, don't try to tell me there will be an easier tomorrow. I know he was prepared to see the light. But, I wish it didn't have to happen on that night. My dad is gone and I will never understand. He was taken too early to that special land.

So sorry for your loss Jennifer, although people mean well, you'd rather they said nothing. Coping with grief is painful. Welcome to poetry soup. Tom
