Today marks 11 years ago that I said goodbye to my favorite person in my life. My dad. He was my hero. Although I didn't get to spend most of my first 16 years of life with him, when he did come back into my life, I had some amazing 16 years. My dad always made me feel so special. No, he wasn't the perfect dad by any means, but he was my dad, and I miss him so!
I miss his gentle kisses on the top of my head.
I miss his flicks on the back of my head.
I miss the cards.
I miss the voice mail messages.
I miss that he was the first one to call me on my birthday, Mother's Day and Christmas morning.
I miss the single flower he would give.
I miss the names he would call everyone.
I miss that he didn't get to see how much his grandson is so much like him.
I miss sitting by me in church.
I miss making him coffee in the middle of the day.
I miss his smell.
I miss his love.
I miss his hugs.
I miss my dad.
I know that he was taken from me too early, but I also know that he is in Heaven with a loving and gracious God and that I will someday soon see him again...until then, I will cherish each memory and moment that I had with him...love you dad!
