Dads Are Supposed To Stay

I used to call you "Daddy", once upon and day. 
However, you left me; Dad's are supposed to stay. 
Now you are gone, this time forever. You went where you will never get older. 
I had a chance to see you this time before you left, I chose not to. I hope without 
regret. 
I was mad at you, and I feel I have that right. You let go of me without putting up a 
fight. 

I miss the dad that loved my Mother. I miss the dad that always put his family 
before another. I miss the dad that did let drugs make him skinny and look sick. 
I miss the dad that never raised a hand. I miss the dad who took care and 
supported his family like a man. 

I remember when I was young; you called me "Dandy". I remember when just 
your Family made you happy. 
That is the dad I miss. 
That is the dad I regret not giving that last hug and kiss.
