Rest in Peace
Daddy
I love you
Dear Daddy,
Yesterday at your wake when the priest asked if anyone wanted to say anything I wanted to. I wanted to get up there and let everyone know what a great dad you were before you got sick, but I'm mad at you. I'm so mad at you. Why couldn't you just go to the hospital when you felt yourself getting sick again? Why didn't you go? I don't understand. I miss you and its only been a couple of days. I know you are in peace now, but its not fair...You're going to miss so much. My prom, my graduation and all the stuff that the kids have going on.
And, everyone has been telling me and the kids stories of what a nice and golden hearted man you were. There wasn't an ounce of greed in your blood and you always put everyone else before yourself. So, why couldn't you think of me and mom and mario and jaclyn this time like always? Why couldn't you realize by not going to the hospital and getting help you were killing yourself? You were so sick. Well, I know you didn't want to be in pain this time so I guess its just me being greedy now. And, everyone keeps saying, "If there's anything you need you know you can come to me" but the thing is they can't give me what I want or need because thats you.
Last night I didn't say goodbye at your wake because I know you'll always be with me. And, I'll always be thinking of you. And, hopefully, some day I'll meet you again. I love you daddy.
