To the lost Love 

Dad,I miss you so much sometimes that it feels like my chest will collapse. It’s been a few months since you left, but there hasn't been a day when I haven’t thought of you, just to text you or call you, to talk to you or tell you about something. No matter what I’m doing, I am constantly aware of your absence. No morning dawns or evening falls when I don’t think of you. I am still not able to fathom the reality that you are gone; I had never imagined that there would be a day when I'd be living without you. It is not easy to move on with life when the person you loved so dearly isn’t there. It feels like you've left too soon, there are still so many things I wish I had said or did, but I think I just thought we had forever. If I get a chance, I wish I could put my arms around you and hug you.

I feel this huge emptiness in my heart that no one can ever fill or fix. Not time, not a person, nothing. It’ll always be there because you aren’t here anymore. I know you wouldn’t want me to be sad, but this grief I can’t get over. It’s something that will walk beside me every day. It’s an unimaginable pain to get accustomed to. My only comfort is that I know you loved me with everything you had and I know that you fought the hardest battles. I’m so proud of you dad. I hope I’ll do the same.
