Grief (or youll get over it in time) A letter to Dad from me.

[mahharetsmom]

Dear Dad;

its been 10 years since you left to rest your feet and become a guardian angel to your grandkids..  Lil is beautiful and her features are like yours in some ways, Nic is a handsome kid hes smart and plays the guitar and is sweet and thoughtfull.  I still cry because I miss you so much, because no one understands that time doesn't heal all wounds and that it only becomes bearable when I look at the faces of my kids and think wow look what has come from my parents and me and my husband.  Amazing isn't it.

I still get that tight feeling in my chest when I remember the day.  I wish mom understood that I loved you as much as children love their parents.  I wish I could ask you all the questions that are unanswered.   I wish that you didn't go. 

Im glad I got to know who you were as a person,  I loved listening to the stories even when it seemed like I didnt.  I wished we had had more time.  I was just getting started as a grown up I think..  You really loved your grandkids and they proffited for that love.  And I know that you were with Lil in the inbetween time, before she came to me.  Thank you for all of those things you gave me then and now.

I miss you dad

your daughter
