HAPPY FATHER'S DAY - I MISS YOU.

I still can't believe you aren't really here. So much has happened since you have been gone. The new baby, the new job, the kids growing up. It just doesn't seem fair that you have to miss it all. I must have picked up the phone to call you a thousand times, only to realize it wouldn't do me any good. Judy called once, and your name came up on the call identify. Stopped my heart for a minute. Today I would have cooked your breakfast in bed, made a nice supper for all of us, and ended the day with a macanudo on the porch - just you and me, talking and watching the cars go by. I hear you in my head every day - I ask or complain or cry about something, and I can hear you - plain as day - with the answers. But it's not the same. People say that time makes things better, but it's not true. I guess you going away doesn't consume every minute of the days now, but every day - every single day - I wish you were here. I know that days like today are meant for celebrating the ones who are here, but for me, it's just another reminder that you are gone. More tears, more sadness, and a very heavy heart. I miss you so much Daddy.....
