Day 8 Remembering Dad

Day 8

Thank you to Two Writing Teachers

for hosting the Slice of Life Writing Challenge

RIP Dad, miss you every. single. day.

Today would have been the day to celebrate you dear Dad, 

to celebrate you.

Instead, we celebrate you in spirit-

Remembering the good old days.  

You would be 79 today if you were 

Still

Here

Please know dear Dad, how much I love you

I celebrate you

In spirit

Remembering the good old days.

If you were here...

I'd talk to you, tell you I'm sorry for the last day

I couldn't face you

I couldn't tell you-

I couldn't see your loving eyes go dim 

But you knew-you called it-

I didn't want to believe you were leaving us 

I couldn't accept it, face it 

I waited to see you-until you were in a state of comfort care

-until you weren't able to give me a piece of your mind...

I'd get one of your dad hugs 

(only you could give)

Please know dear Dad, how much Mom loves you

She celebrates you, on good days

In spirit AND still here

Remembering  some of the good old days, not other days

To her you're still here, sometimes

If you were here

She'd talk to you!

Tell you she loves you

Say, listen to the docs!

She'd get one of your sweet hubby hugs 

(only you could give)

Here

Still

If you were here, 79 today you'd be!

Days of old-- remembering

Celebrate you in spirit instead

To celebrate you

Today will always be your day dear Dad-your day!
