Dad

As we all have given thanks this past week to our fathers I am reminded that it has been 2 1/2 years since I lost my dad. Father's Day last year was horrible and this year was a little better. I give thanks everyday to the fact that I still have my stepdad and he has been there for all of us when we needed him. I still miss my father everyday and wish he was still here. I miss the telephone conversations that we would have and the advise he would give. I even miss the arguements that we would sometimes have as we were so much alike. I still talk to him at night, but it just is not the same. I wish I could hear his voice just one more time. I wish I could tell him I love him one more time and hear him say it to me one more time. I know that some say when someone leaves this earth that they can still hear you and they are always with you in your heart. However, the real thing is better. I know that he is no longer in any pain and that someday we will all be together again. I have to believe that to survive the pain of losing him too soon. I regret that he did not live long enough to meet the young lady David is going to marry. He would have loved her. On my song list is a song called "You can let go now Daddy", you should listen. The song says it all.
I love you dad. Kim
