missing you, daddy...

...on this 10 year anniversary

of your death

i remember that phone call like it was yesterday - the one telling me you were gone

now it's 10 years later - and although the grief has faded over time - the missing of you is still just as strong - that longing to share my life - pick up the phone to share something significant or silly - the wanting to ask your opinion or advice - those 'moments' seem just as prevalent as ever - perhaps that will never change - which is fine since i've grown used to it now - i think it simply comes with the territory when - you happen to be a daddy's girl - i was always your 'girl' - and that'll never change regardless of you being gone or not - it's memories like those i continue to hold close - the ones which get me through even now - 10 years later because it's all i have - memories can be the best things and i have found - if i allow them to - will also let me continue to experience...

a

happy day.....
