We don’t get
Those seconds back
Don’t look back
So fast
Or the memories
Might not last
Everything
Reminds me
Of when
You were here
The lessons
You taught me
Along the way
The laughs we
Had and the
Tears we cried
That time when
I had reached
The edge
& could take
No more
You remained
Calm to help
Me endure
Even though
You yourself
Were barely
Holding on
You’re now
Gone
But not
Forgotten
The memories
I’ll keep here
Forever
Until I’m
Where you rest
A tribute to my father. He passed away on 12/20/18 after battling terminal illness for many years. Despite everything he went through in life, he was there for me through some really difficult times. He drove over 1,000 miles to be with me for as long as he could while I was battling cancer and slept on my couch, drove me to chemo, and was a rock in a lot of ways despite not being in good health himself. I remember having a panic attack at one point while we sat in the car before going into one of my doctor appointments. He sat there very calm and quiet and offered his best advice. Now that he is gone, I feel like I never had the chance to thank him enough for everything he did. Just letting it out here.
