Thinking of You

Blue and Daddy read the paper together one summer day

Dear Daddy,

It's been 10 years since you passed away. I miss you and think of you often. Your death was the beginning of the end of our entire family and for that, I find myself still mourning. I haven't had a Christmas or a birthday that's felt right since you've gone. Even if things weren't perfect, we had our great moments, long late night talks and heart connection like no other. I know you loved me, even if the words were tough to come by, and I know you did everything you could to give us all everything we ever dreamed of. You were ahead of your time, in so many ways. I only wish you were here now to see some of the changes that have happened in the world. You'd have been thrilled to be a part of it...if only you could.

I wonder if you've been reborn or if you're in heaven or just part of the stars now? Wherever you are, know I'm thinking of you and miss you so much and wish so deeply that I could see you again. Perhaps one day I will.

Until that time, I'm thinking of you. Always.
