My Dad
This is the last picture I have with my dad. I drove out to see him, I was always going to him. He died on July 30 2007. July 30th was my sisters birthday. It made me feel better to think the he was a birthday present from God for her. She got to see her daddy again on her birthday. She had the most time with him as a kid, I can’t imagine how much more it hurt her to lose him.
I gave him a card before he died, I think it was Father’s Day. I told him that I loved him. I told him that even though I didn’t have the relationship with him that I had hoped for. The relationship we didn’t have is what made me who I am. That I was grateful for that and like who I was.
Before he died he started to write me a letter to tell me how he felt about me but never finished it. My stepmom gave it to me after he died. I still have it. I appreciate that he made the effort.
I think that song is so beautiful. For a long time the one thing that I wanted to do, was dance with my father to that song on my wedding day. Unfortunately that didn’t happen.
Thank You. I hope I remember to do this but my father turns 80 in December. My one sister and I want to take him and as a whole family all 20 of us so away and while typing this message out to you I figured that I will try and remember to have a dance with my father then to this song.
