Reflections

Daddy, I wasn't ready for you to die.
It took us by so much surprise that you died.
Even though it was better this way, it still hurts.
You were taken without notice after doing so well.
I didn't want you to die! I still needed you!

You aren't here to do all the things you said you would
You had promised to walk me down the aisle if it was the last time you walked.
You won't be there when I have kids.
Now who is going to play trains and bake sugar cookies with them?

You aren't here for the things we took for granted of you.
I can't come to you for the best advice.
I can't get the comfort from a big hug and reassuring words.
I can't tuck you into bed at night.

I cry so hard sometimes cause I don't have you here with me.
Mom and Jenny miss you too, we all do.
We just weren't ready for you to die yet.
