I struggle in your absence, dad. Each morning that I wake up I still expect to hear you, in the living room... talking to the television. But you're not there, and the silence is sometimes deafening. I know you are at peace. I know you no longer cuss the pain that you were made to endure. And I know that you are now reunited with people that gave you the most joy in your lifetime. In my heart am able to find comfort knowing that you are with Aunt Linda once again. And that you are safe and loved and smiling. You are with David too. I saw how hard it was on you to lose your son. I remember hearing you cry whenever you thought of him not being a phone call away anymore. But I cant lie dad. I'm selfish. I want you here. I want Aunt Linda here. I want my mom back. Grandma Bunny, Grandpa Don, Uncle Jerry, David... the list is long. And its heartbreaking.
So yes, I am struggling. But please, don't think for a minute that I will fail you. I will get through this. Even though I miss your laugh and I will miss your presence every day I will not let you down. In your honor, Imma be alright. I really don't have a choice to be anything else. I know you are in good company and that warms my heart. I just have one last request dad... when you see me at my weakest moments can you lay your hand on my shoulder? That's all I will need to know you are in my corner.
One of the last things you said to me was that you wanted to run... RUN dad. Run as fast as you can. I love you.
