We had 8,799 days of memories. Given the chance, I would relive any one of them. If there's one lesson to take away from his death, it is that even the worst of days are preferable to no more days.
It both catches me off guard and comforts me when I look at my reflection and see features that were my dad's long before they mine. There are days where I feel worlds away from him and there are days where he's as close to me as the bathroom mirror. My eyes, my nose, my mouth, and my hands.
Happy Father's Day, Dad. If I got you a card for today it would say thank you for every memory, even those you didn't know you were making. I hope you would be proud of who I am today and I promise never to stop trying to make you prouder.
I'm sorry your Dad is not here :( He'd be proud of you if he was.

ReplyDeleteThis is so sad and so touching. I agree with Amanda - he would be proud of you. You are a fantastic young lady with a huge heart of gold :)
ReplyDeleteYou're an amazing daughter and your dad is with you everyday so proud of who you are. The sadly amazing thing about a lost loved one is how close they are within our hearts after they're gone.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad his memories live on, on what must be a hard and sad day for you. xo
