One Year
One year of this agonizing emptiness left inside
A hole in my heart that seems to allow all of my feeling to escape
Yet, at the same time, the wound feels so fresh
Still seems like it can’t be possible that you’re gone
My heart aches for your comforting hug
Your tender words and kiss on my cheek
I look in the mirror and your sad eyes stare back at me
So scared of having to tell us goodbye
The feeling of numbness has come back
It feels like a shadow covering everything around me
The happiness seems brief and soon to be drowned
By the tears that I just can’t stop crying
I hate that you aren’t here with us
To be a part of everything that is happening
It is so hard not to see your smile and your loving eyes
As life goes by day after day
Thank you, Daddy, for watching over us
As we stick together to get through life without you!

You have made it through the first year. Is it any better? Lost my Dad in November and still missing him so much. I know I did all I could for him, just wish I had him for one more day. The numb feeling is worse than feeling sad I think. Just feel at times like there is no joy in me at all. What you have written is beatiful, makes me thind of my Dads sad and beautiful blue eyes knowing that soon he would be gone. Today is a bad day, not sure why, but think the nice weather makes me aware of all the time we spent together in the summer, concerts, picnics, beer on the patio. Oh its tough.
