On this day….

I wasn’t going to post this but then  the other day a very wise and intuitive friend said this “We all have our crosses to bear and too many of us put on a brave face I think”  and it made me think that maybe we all do hide away. So here is my sad day, I have lots of happy ones too. But this one is for my dad who is very greatly missed. Who knows maybe somewhere he is reading it thinking ” you soppy sod!”

My Dad

On this day last year a great man died

There were no head lines or news at ten reports

He just past away quietly and  unexpectedly

in a blink of an eye, he was gone

with no chance of goodbyes or love you’s

He was bright and kind and generous and so many other things

but I dont think he ever  knew

and my biggest regrete is that I never really told him

The gap between life and death is so papery thin

most of just don’t realise how fragile we are

Miss you so much dad xxx

    That was lovely to read and I’m sure he does know how you felt. I hope getting it down as black andwhite helped you feel better. X

    Ah Sweetheart only just read this wish I’d seen it on the day so I could have sent you a big, big hug (sending one now anyway). Such an amazing man would have seen how you felt as he looked into your eyes. He probably didn’t need those around him to tell him how wonderful he was the happiness he brought you would have been enough xxxxx
