"December"

Missing image

 

Dear Daddy,

 

My body is weak and fragile and I'm dying a slow agonizing death.
Watching you drink as if you were a babe suckling from your mothers breast.
Initially, you seemed humorous, more light hearted and brighter but as days melt into night your disposition turned sallow. Delicate and the epitome of a child at heart, those
 intermittent tears occurred while trying to muster the strength to remember occurrences. I expire a little more with each passing season. Talking to you, is a mute experience as you assure me that you have no problem, that I am the insane one,
and to a certain extent you are correct. How could my love continue when you are so vile? Yet, it does.
Summer turned to Winter and I swear I could no longer function. You were the addict, yet I was the one dying.

PS/ December was a long month...
I'll miss you Dad...
with every tear I solemnly weep.
I'll miss you.

 

Love always, Your daughter

    Beautifully expressed. The pain experienced for that which was not is far, far greater than the pain experienced by that which was. We miss them even while they are still here. Blessings to you.
