Submission 212

Dad,

I don’t think I will ever really be ok without you here. I have a hole in my heart that will never be filled - not with all the money, love, friends or fun in the world, and I am so very sorry I didn’t realise how much you mean to me sooner. I will never forgive myself for that.

I think of you in all that I do and I wish you could see the person I am becoming now. I wish your grandchildren had the chance to see how wonderful and special you were. I wish the world could have seen it. I really just wish you felt as loved and appreciated as you deserved.

This world was not kind to you, and I hope wherever you are, you are safe and at peace. I love you forever Dad, in every universe.
