    Dear You, Not the Fabricated You

    Dear You, Not the Fabricated You,

    But truly: You

    When you breathed your last
    I took my first into a life, unknowingly
    without you.

    I searched for you in other people.
    The places you walked – I obsessed to be in.
    I didn’t know how to be me.

    I wanted to be you,
    so you could always be with me.

    Your voice is in the waves that humbled me.
    You’re in every season now –
    no longer frozen in the summer
    that stunted my heart.

    The closest I have ever felt to your love
    was finally being me,
    without you.

    With Love,
    Your daughter who climbed Apple trees to reach your hand

      Tricia, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is never easy. The memories that you made with your dad will always be with you. You may notice the little things that you say or do that remind you of your dad. These things will always be a part of you and keep your dad with you always. He would be so proud of you for getting through this, even though it’s difficult. Stay strong!♥
