a letter to you

dear daddy,

are you really gone? cause i was looking forward to the day that you walk me down to my graduation, and even my wedding.

but really, it's you we miss.

though you're in a better place now,
it doesn't take away from the way we wish to see your face somehow...
i see the pictures, i remember you like you were here yesterday.
all i want to do is hold your hand.
snuggle up to you, like we used to.
i miss you, and i always will.
but for now, i just wish you were here.

your grandson is here. i know someday i'll tell him about you.
i'll get brad to force him to take music lessons, and i'll sing to him like none other.
i'll sing him all the songs we used to sing together.
i know this is my life now, every second thinking about you.
how i could of been with you more, how much i wish i did.
maybe, when we finally meet again we'll cry happy tears...
i believe i'll see you again. you will never leave my heart,
and everything i do from now on i will have you in mind.

i love you, papa.
