My Dad, My loving Friend

It all happened so fast and now you are gone- but since the day you left, you have become closer to me than ever because I feel that now you know me more. My heart is aching for you as I recount all the wonderful moments we spent together. We all make the wrong decisions and try to cling with them. But I remember our short shopping spells when you visited me. It all seems like yesterday but so far away. We have so much in common. I see you in me all the time. I love the way you loved people and treated the smallest as youIrself. There are such small instances and souvenirs which you couldn't take away from me. I try not to think of you because then I cannot move on. No matter what others said about me to you, I know you had a special love for me that tears me apart. I miss you so much. I cannot believe that you are gone. I am like a bird in the sky and I feel you watching me soar high above my struggles every day and that makes me work harder. Because when I am up in the sky, I look down and there I can see you in my beautiful garden, just like the sunflower-- head and shoulders above the rest. I love you so much.
