To Be A Fool…

I miss you. It was a year ago you were so sick, and we gathered around your bed to give you the presents we had for you. You mentioned “next year,” as if you would still be here, but a few weeks later you were gone.

I miss you, Daddy. So much has happened this year I want to share with you. The kids are getting bigger, and your little girls are starting Kindergarten next year! They miss you too. Really badly.  The littlest one took a long time to realize what your death meant, and now she is afraid to let anyone out of her sight because they might not come back.  She was very worried about you because you left your cane behind.

Your grandson is going into 5th grade, and he is turning into such a great kid.  He wants a job so he can start earning his own money.  Your oldest grand-daughter is going to be in 4th grade, and she is all about makeup, boys, and Hannah Montana… and she is becoming a huge help around the house.

Daddy, I know you are in heaven, having a blast! But I’m feeling selfish today, and I really wish that you were here with us.

I miss you, Daddy… and I love you!  Have a great father’s day with your Heavenly Father.
Love,
me
