My Daddy

Fiona

My Father was mentally ill during the last few months of his life...he suffered from severe depression. He loved my Mother more than words can say as well as my Brother, Sister & Myself.

His depression ate away at him & the unbearable pain he was feeling was too great. On April 26 2003 he took his own life.

I miss my Dad more than words can say. There isn't a second that goes by when he isn't on my mind. I am blessed that he was my Father even if it was only for 20 years.

I love you Dad.

My Father - My Friend

I wasn't aware that I could scream till I found out you were dead

Thousands of thoughts, questions & fears running through my head

I couldn't breath; I was overwhelmed it was all too much to bare

I picked up a photo of you & I & all I could do was stare

I couldn't believe what you had done what I'd been told was a lie

My Dad who loved us & his life couldn't have chosen to die

Shock overcame me & I was numb this wasn't happening to me

Someone wake me from this terrible nightmare so that I can clearly see

No one woke me; it wasn't a dream it was happening & all too fast

How long will I feel heartbroken & sick how long will this punishment last?

I'll never forget the amount of tears we shed for you that night

How can this happen to us we asked, how can this possibly be right

No words can say the pain I feel, it's ripped a chunk from my heart

Our family so perfect, happy & free, how can we be apart?

I need you here for so many reasons; the list will never end

I love you & miss you more each day My wonderful Father-My Friend

You have my love & forgiveness always.
