Submission 103

Dear Dan

13 years since you left us & some days it feels like forever ago & others it feels like yesterday.. the overwhelming feeling of grief just hits so hard some days. You knew how special you were to us & how much we loved you, but even that didn’t keep you with us, that big dark cloud had surrounded you & you couldn’t see any other way out. The world has kept turning but you’re no longer here, it’s the strangest feeling looking at how your life is now & how it was meant to be, you were meant to be walking me down the aisle on my wedding day, coming over for games nights & Sunday roasts, my sons should have known their uncle Dan, Mum shouldn’t have to live the rest of her life without her baby.. my heart aches for you every minute of everyday & I will never not wish I could have said or done something to make you stay with us.. I miss you so much Dan, heart breaking that you’re not here with us, heart hoping we’ll be together again someday.
