My Dad photo by Lisa It is about time I tell you something that has been on my mind for a while. The last time we were together, I sat staring at you, realizing for the first time that you are growing old. You were almost unrecognizable to me. In the midst of you yelling at me, all I wanted to do was reach out and hug you. I wanted to hug you and never let you go. Because one day you will be gone, and there is so much I want to say. This is my promise to you that the next time we are together
I will tell you I love you
I will tell you that I forgive you
I will hug you
And as you play your guitar, I will sing my heart out along side you as I always do. I will remember the time you told a stranger how good your little girl can sing.
Even if it wasn't true, you said it and I believed it.
Just so you know, I believe everything you have ever told me but I only have the strength left to remember the good.
