sleep with the angels



Dear daddy,
 Nights seem to be the hardest. When the house gets quiet and I feel alone my mind wonders. I begin to miss you all over again. Memories flood my heart and mind while tears take over my eyes. They say time heals all wounds however I know that's not true. Time only gives us more time to cope new ways to make it through. The hurt always stays. I know your in a better place than we are down here on earth... But I cannot help but wish you were still here. Your the one I called for all the old home remedies and "daddy what do I do if" questions. I knew I could talk to you about anything and everything. Who do I turn to now? I miss you dad far more than you'll ever know. I wish I could hear you say "I love you" one more time. I love you dad forever and always. Sleep with the angels.
