Dear Dad:
Today I miss you incredibly much. I joke about today being my day since my kids's dads were not really present and for the most part I played the role of mom and dad. But you were there. Not always. Not maybe to Mom's hopes and expectations, but you were part of my life. You were my shelter, my saving grace, a safe place in the chaos.
I miss you more I can express. I miss your smile, and that twinkle in your eye. I miss you saying... "hello Sweetheart!" or "Carrie.... it's your Pop-oh!" or at the end, the last year or so... "you're one of my dolls..." or "Awww, you doll." I miss your hugs, and little peck on the forehead or even sometimes on the lip. Just a quick peck. Not a weird thing.
To say I miss you is so small in comparison to these feelings. My life has been forever changed. There's life before Dad died, and life after. They are not the same.
I love you and miss you.
