today is the day
he went away
but one year ago
and I am barely awake
but afraid to sleep
because
of what my dreams might show
I hate this pain
that drives me
insane
when I remember his
goofy smile
to see him again
free of pain
I would give all
to the heavens above
but I sit in the chair
hiding from fear
of dreams brought
by a daughters love
it's a year today
and I just need to say
daddy your baby girl
misses you

My heart goes out to you...and this time I definitely can't relate...I am lucky in that sense...so I don't know the true feelings of what you're going through...but you seem like a very strong soul to me...here's a gazillion hugs from me 
(I don't know how to make the hugging smiley) hehe....K...I won't ramble more.
Take Care

aww, i'm so sorry. i wish that my father would love me, but he doesn't. he's told me a million times that he doesn't love me, wishes i would slit my wrists, so it's like, there's not a lot that i can do to build a relationship with him, when he doesn't even want me to live. i just hope that one day, before he passes, that he can just say that he loves me, and that he's sorry for all that he's said. that's all i want.

Aww I'm sorry for your loss. My dad died a year ago on the 27 of Dec. But we weren't close. This is a wonderful tribute for your father. I'm sure he's smiling on you. Be safe...
