My Daddy
© Janette
I miss you Daddy.
I don’t mean to disturb you, and I hope I’m not. I just want to vent.
Today I needed comfort and I thought of calling you. It wasn’t a detailed thought, only an urge……and then I remembered.
I ache, I hurt, I miss. Who am I now that you are gone? Do I still have “the magic” to make it through hard times? I don’t know.
How I wish I could feel you hug me, and kiss my face; encourage me and tell me I am “perfect”. Who am I now that you are gone?
I look at your picture each night before I go to bed; I tell you “goodnight”. My lipstick prints cover the glass; I say, “I love you” to a piece of paper. Do you hear me? I hope you do, but I fear you do. I don’t want to disturb you.
I am lost without you, but I will find my way. I will find my way because you gave me the “magic” to do so. You will never be just my father. You will always be “My Daddy”.
