Dear Dad,
Today I found out you were gone. Thoughts raced through my mind as I drove franticly home to be with Mom, I felt who you were. I felt your nervousness as I drove faster then I should. I felt your uneasiness about the future, I felt your pain of losing your dreams and I felt your anger for things you just couldn't change. I felt your love, constantly asking if I was ok and I felt your wonder if this were really true. I felt your arms around me like when I was little and hurt myself and I felt your smile when at times things just seemed to fall into place. In all of these thoughts I realized there was a feeling missing, a feeling of peace because I believe in this world that was a feeling that always escaped you. I have several hopes here today, I hope everyone who knew you will take with them the memories of good times with you and put aside the things you could never change, and I hope that you now have peace I truly want nothing more than that. My sister says there is a plan and it is not ours. I hope to understand it someday. When I look at myself in the mirror I see you. I will sometimes hear you in my words and have to stop to think. I have learned many things from you, some good and some from the book of what not to do. And though I am much different than the man you were you are part of me. I am my fathers son .
Rest In Peace Dad
Love Your Son.
