Randy another year has gone by ,it's already been five . I was standing by the bathroom sink the other day and I swear I could smell your Aqua Velva haven't smelled that in a while.
I still wish I could just pick up the phone and call you miss you
Love always Pat.

And then you were gone

Knowing deep inside this day would come
I was filled with so many emotions, now feeling suddenly numb.
I speak to you but feel like my words are just floating in air
I´ve yelled at you, cried for you that life´s not fair
I´ve been broken for a long time, my heart´s not split in two
It´s shattered in millions of pieces and I´m left not having any glue
I´m guilty of so many times not answering the phone
I´d pick up each call now if only I´d known
But I can´t see the future I´ve got no crystal ball
My advice to others is just grab that call
It may be the same old story told many times before
You´ll probably be busy thinking it´s such a bore
Just take it all in, listen intently to each spoken word
Sometimes they long to talk hoping to be heard
My phone still rings, but the caller isn´t you
I think I´m hearing things, last night you said "hey Boo"
I´m so sorry for being a bitter daughter and being withdrawn
Thought I had more time but I blinked
And then you were gone.

I said goodbye to you one week ago today
I wasn´t there with you but I felt you slip away
I was driving while the rain came pouring down
It was heavy like my tears while hitting the ground
I choke them back so as not to unravel
You´ve left this world, now that´s a trip I´d love to travel

wish you were still here to talk to.
We all miss you dearly .

This journey has not been easy. Doesn't feel real at all. I'm not supposed to lose my father at age 41. You're supposed to be here. Your birthday is the 27th this month and today I held the gift I had made for you and just cried. You'll never see it. Why you had to be so stubborn and not seek help earlier I'll never understand. You are missed by me so much and your granddaughter Kaley. This is such a hard time in our lives. ❤
