Happy Fathers Day

A slightly different post today, appologies in advance for the morbid tone! As today is fathers day I thought it only appropriate to dedicate this post to my daddy, and possibly share some things that don't often get said.

Unfortunately I lost my dad just over 7 years ago, it came as a real surprise to everyone and just looking back at photos for this post today, I am still so over whelmed with sadness that I can honestly never see going away. I think about him every day, and I miss him every day.

I don't want to make a whole post about my self pity, I just want to say that I hope everyone treated their dads today, and every day, like they are the best man on the whole planet, because I would give anything to see mine again, and tell how much I love him.

If I can ever find way to put my emotions, experiences and memories into words, I will one day write a separate post about my amazing dad, but for now, some other words...

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you -
No one can ever know.

But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times
life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today~
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.
