i miss you so much dad
Two months and seven days ago you took your last breath on this earth.... two months and seven days ago I lost my best friend, my children lost their dad and my grandson lost his Mushum... two months and seven days ago I heard your voice for the last time, I held your hand for the last time, I stared into your beautiful big brown eyes for the last time. Two months and seven days ago, I heard you tell me you loved me for the last time..... two months and seven days ago my whole world was flipped upside down and changed for the worst..... Two months ago today, your wake began and I began to prepare myself for our final goodbye.... I prepared myself to comfort our children, I prepared to begin the rest of my life without you. Two very long, very lonesome, very painful months ago, I prepared myself to send you on your journey home to the spirit world and also prepared myself to say goodbye to the woman I was up until Tuesday April 16, 2019 at 8:30PM exactly, when that woman died with you because you took such a huge piece of me with you when your heart stopped beating.... Two very long, very trying, very heartbreaking months ago, I had to Say goodbye to everything I once knew.... I had to say goodbye to my best friend, my protector, my shoulder, my support, my right hand, my go to, my comfort..... Despite KNOWING in my heart, that You are no longer in ANY kind of pain, you are no longer suffering, you are no longer hurting... it doesn’t ease the pain I feel everyday knowing you’re never coming back Fred. I need you so bad right now! Our two beautiful babies need you, our grandson needs you, our granddaughter will need you once she is born in a few weeks.... we all just need you. We need your unconditional love and support, we need your advice, we need your arms to hold us and tell us it’s going to be ok, we need your contagious laugh and your cheeky ways.... Fred we just need YOU. April 16, 2019, a HUGE part of me died when you died and I don’t know if I will ever be able to find myself again.... it’s only been two months but these two months feel like two eternity’s Fred....
