Today is the 4 year anniversary of when my dad died. I can’t believe it’s been that long. Each year gets a little easier. I’m not good at writing poetry but I found this in a hallmark card and it really touched me - it’s exactly how I felt about my dad:
You always did everything you could and gave everything you had. And just knowing you were always there, as dependable as sunrise, has made all the difference in the world.
That was my dad. He was someone you could depend on. He was loyal and trustworthy. He was funny and honest. My dad didn’t have a lot when he was growing up - no father, no money, not much love, but he gave us all he didn’t have and more. Not having him here anymore has left a huge void, not only in my life, but in the lives of all his family and friends. I miss his laugh, I miss his hugs and I even miss most of his jokes. He was a person who loved life ….wow, I didn’t think I’d get teary today, but re-reading that hit home. That was my dad and I miss him.
