Dear Dad, I know that you're somewhere else, hopefully somewhere beautiful, somewhere where you aren't in pain anymore. It all just happened so fast, Christmas Eve I was out to dinner with you later that night you were gone. Trust me, that was the worst present I've ever gotten. It hit me that it'll be 17 months without you in 10 days and I still pick up my phone and try to call you but then I remember you aren't there anymore and I can't. That's what kills me the most, because the people that have their Dads to talk too treat them like **** because they don't know how it feels when they can't talk to him at all anymore. If I could go back in time I wouldn't have treated you the way I did, because I can't help but hate myself for not hugging you back more and kissing you more and telling you how much I actually care. Ever since I lost you Dad it's been really hard trying to let people in I don't want too lose someone that means so much to me it killed me inside especially losing you because now who's going to walk me down the isle? or kiss my baby girl's head and hold her like you once held me. It's night like tonight when I cry myself to sleep and ask myself a million questions about why you had to leave me, when I needed you the most and how I'm going to have to get over the fact that you aren't going to be there to watch me grow up anymore. I know that you're my guardian angel and that you look down over me I just wish that I would've said I love you more and got to say my actual final goodbye
