Daddy...

we were all so young back then

and all we wanted to do was to be near him

anyway we could

pure love.

total bliss.

how could we have known 

he wouldn't survive

past those days of such innocence

and trust?

maybe he did...

Parents live in our hearts forever, even after they have gone from us.And the lessons of life they taught us sees through our end. Beautifully written.

Thank you, Matthew

I think when fathers die early in a child's life, there remains a void that's never really healed..

Wishing you well.

daddy is the hero of heroes when we are children - and we imagine immortal too.
Very moving writing Alisa.

How are you guys coping with these storms where you are?

[Alisa Js]

Thanks Tony...

The answer to your question is very carefully...

Wishing you well.

[Hi]

I like this. It's simplistic prose style is accentuated by the poetic "pure love", "total bliss", and "maybe he did." Sometimes sadness is much simpler to deal with without the flowery words or far reaching metaphor. Thanks.

You are very welcome, Matt...

Sometimes, we simply don't have all the answers or even a theory for the reason...as children,how could we?

Life is not fair, that's for sure... but on the flip side, we do have such precious memories...

Wishing you well.

tough to lose a parent at any age, much less so young, with no real chance to know him or her...

nicely written piece...filled with that sadness and regret...

[Alisa Js]

Thanks Jacob, I was still a teenager when my father died...

Sometimes, it feels like yesterday...

Thank you for your thoughts..

I liked the words and places you took me dear Alisa. Memories become more sweeter with distance. I liked the story told and the perfect closure. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and thoughts.
