A Goodbye; To my best friend

I didn't get to say goodbye;

You were the father I never had the chance to have growing up. You taught me to drive and believe in myself. To keep trying and not give up.

You called me daughter as no one else had, took me out hiking to see different land. Caught my first fish and a trap full of crayfish, we ate like kings even though you'd have rather had a Danish.

We didnt get to say goodbye, and my heart weeps with sadness. Broken as I am now, I know one day I'll again know gladness. Having learned and grown so much with you, I'll be sure to share these things with my future children.

You're home now with grandma, hug her tight please for me.
