Difficulty




I wish to say something, but feel like a baby bird. I cannot speak, but only cry out in little peeps--I need...need...need...


I feel like a small child in my heart.  I am disoriented, lost, undone.  

My dad is gone.  The shock of it, several times each day, hits me like a wave, even after six months.  

More thoughts than I can number have come through me since this happened.  He was the biggest part of me, I think.  Even more so now, I think.  Time seems to stand still.  The leaves are falling but to me it is still spring.

I truly believed he would always be here.  That he would never really leave.  He had beaten death so many times over the years.  On some level I thought he was immortal.  


My world has become an empty thing.  Even if I did not show him my achievements, I could have.  And now I can't. So I don't care about them anymore.  They are meaningless.


I had my dad for a very long time, and did not appreciate the opportunity. This is the guilt I feel.


My grief is interrupted.  I feel that I do not deserve it, that I have not earned the right.

I am so very, very sad. 

He would not like me being this way.  But I love him so much and I just can't help it.
