For my Father
I miss you a lot, I'm feeling distraught lately we haven't been close but you're still one of the people I love the most I wish we had more time together but I will listen to your whisper through the weather you were a great person with a big Heart and that's just a start Never will I forget you or the times we had I will try not to get so sad. I will remember you as you live in me... That way your face I will always see.
