It's been five years since you left us. It still think of you every day. Not every memory tears me up inside anymore, sometimes I can find the joy. I remember your zeal for life, your love for people, and your devotion to Jesus.
I miss fishing with you. Hunting with you. Riding in the truck with you. I miss family get togethers out at the pond.
Dad, I miss your wisdom, your creativity and your warmth. You were always the life of the party. But you also gave me great one on one time. Whether we went out to eat on a Daddy/Daughter date, or spent the day purchasing supplies for a patio we never finished.
I miss your smile. I miss hearing you say, "Well, hello Carrie Lynner-skinner!"
Every day I remember something that makes me smile. Some days I remember things that make me sad, or make me miss you in a really big way. Those are days I still cry.
Dad, life here is not the same without you. You left a very big hole. Remember that hole you always talked about that only I could fill in your heart? Turns out the space in my heart that only you can fill is rather large.
I miss you Dad.
Love,
Care
Wishing you peace as you continue grieving your father’s death. I was 16 when my dad died and grieved almost every day for ten years. I still think of him often. This year will mark 50 years since his passing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful memorial to your father! I hope that as time passes, you will find more joy than sadness as you think about him and all your memories with him.
