One year ago today, my big, strong Daddy died ... I miss him. =[

Poem Artwork

been a year
and the hole in my heart is as big as it was
when i heard
that you had died.  it wasn't fair, Daddy --
i wasn't
ready to let you go.  still having a hard time
without you
as close as the phone.  how i miss your big,
strong arms; your
booming laugh; everything about you, Daddy:
my world not
the same.  it's a much sadder, lonelier place.
i just wish
i could have seen you one more time before
you left me -
told you the things i never could say enough
(i love you) -
i miss you.  more than you will ever know ...

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (5/28)

I still go to pick up the phone and call my mom...it has been two and half years...

Maybe someday we will get used to it...but I think there will always be that hole.
Hugs to you!

I think he knows; my Dad's been gone almost nine years now, and it's still not the same for me without him, and there's rarely a day I don't think about him.

Nothing can be empty when Daddy's in your heart.
The missing physical presence will be after a while covered by the spiritual which will comfort and peace your soul.

The loss of a true loving parent takes a long time to get used to, in fact it has been almost thirty years since I lost mine and I am still not used to it...

This one hurts; I can feel the pain in your heart. I am going through the same thing myself; how I wish we could have seen him one more time before he died! Powerful emotions here, Karla; very well penned!

The problem with seeing a loved one one more time is that you still want to see them one more time still. The yearning, pain and longing are evident. Share your pain. Hugs, Liz
