I Know


I know you are gone and go on with my day. It’s when there is something on TV I reach for the phone to see what you have to say, I then remember I can't talk to you because you left this world.
I am getting by taking it day by day. It’s when the house is quiet and I feel something is not right that I think of you and reality strikes. It really is harder then I thought it would be even though we always talked about it many times since I was only a young girl. I would always tell you I didn’t know what I’d do without my Daddy and you would say that I would always have you just not in the same way. We would go to the place where you are now at rest and you would ask me if your letters that spelled your name where to big!! I would say they are fine Dad and we would just sit there and talk for hours it seemed. Then you would say with that smile on your face Denise (sometimes Kid) this is what it will be like but I will be in there taking it easy and sleeping.
Not many people talk about death but I am so glad we did because I don’t know how I would get on without you. When I walked in to the building of your resting place on that day it was a normal feeling and I did okay So Thank You Dad for helping me prepare for that day.
I was coming home in June as we had planned but I have changed plans since you have left. I will be there in July and I will have our puzzle books that you said we would do with me when I come to see you and I will sit there and try to finish one. You would be proud of me at how much better I have become at doing them.
Well DAD I just wanted you to know I am doing okay and I Love You.

Love,
You’re Denise
