I Love My Dad

Last Tuesday, I lost a part of my heart. My dad, suddenly, passed away.

I was having a bad relation with him for a long time. Many were the things I wasn't agree with. I blamed him for my psychological issues.
Thanks him, I could see that he only tried to do the best and give the best he knew in each moment. He also showed me that he was there each time I needed him.
I still remember how he hold me in his hands and took me to the living room when I took pills and was in my bed for three days without wanting to eat.

I'm so grateful for the last years that I could share with him when I finally see his real scent. When I could accept some characteristics of his personality that used to make me mad and then, I could laugh at them with him.
I never knew such a pure heart like the one he had.

How welcome are these remarks from you when I thought you were interfering in my business, what else you could did if you are my father; how welcome are these discussions because we had different point of view in many things, how welcome are your advises, your stories, the brightness in your eyes when we talk about the universe or the animals. How welcome all this precious time that I would wish last forever.

I love you papi.

Dad,
Today is a month since I can't see you.
It has been the worst month in my life.
Still haven't been able to open this parcel with the request I made for you and that you never could open.

Many times when something happens, my first thought is my intention to tell you it as I did before but quickily I notice that I can't do it.
You are in my heart. Not a single day without recalling you.

I promise you that I will be the best person I can be for having a pure heart as you had.

I love you, daddy!

We never know how much time anyone has. We often waste it as a result. I am glad you had some good times in recent years. I think he did the best job he knew how.

twistermind · 51-55, F

Wise words.

newbie · 31-35, F

so sorry for your loss! 😢 no matter how much he hurt you and caused you harm it's so wonderful you forgave him in time and you could enjoy his last time together. he will always be in you for as long as you're around he will be remembered!

twistermind · 51-55, F

@newbie Thank you. He deserved it. He gained it with some positive qualities in which he was the best.
Not a single day without recalling him. I guess he lives a little in me.

newbie · 31-35, F

@twistermind he is deep inside you 💗 even though he is dead now you can feel him there for ever! 🤗

twistermind · 51-55, F

Thank you very much to all for your condolesces.
I never thought it hurts so much.
I already lost my grandads and grandmas and it hurt but the pain I have now can't be compared with any pain I had before.

Cierzo · M

I really fear the moment when my parents pass away. I have no clue about how I may react, in which way the sadness may come, or what I will be able to do to overcome it. The logical thought 'it had to be that way, that's the way nature is' will not be any help.

I hope you find strength to go through this awful time

Hugs.

twistermind · 51-55, F

@Cierzo: We are never ready to lose a loved person. I'm sure you will suffer. The only consolation is to think that this person will be always a part of you.

Thingschange4444 · 51-55, M

I'm sorry for the loss of your Dear Papi, condolences, blessed you came to a place an understanding. This really touched me my Dad we have the same relationship. He is 87, I keep trying to get the peace, place you have, if just a pinch of how you did.Your Papi lives on in priceless memories. TY for sharing a bit of your amazing pure heart Papa. I believe they are still with us, guiding us. One day we will be united. Blessing to you and family, friends!🥀 Lovely tribute! This gives me hope.

twistermind · 51-55, F

Thank you for your kind words. They really touch my heart. It could seem a nonsense but knowing that other people feel the same as me, helps me a lot.
Only a doubt, does your daddy still live?

OceanRoses · F

No never nonsense, yes he is, but we don't get along it's a long story. I keep trying... He is very old school. And wants to rule, he is no king. Just my Dad. So we break that we can accept each other. TY for giving me hope. Take care!

twistermind · 51-55, F

Papi, Happy Dad's day!
Thanks for giving me the oportunity to be grown and brought up by you.
I can't stop recalling you each day. Go on with me. You are guiding me as always. ❤

Peaches · F

Awww, such a beautiful tribute to your dad❣🍀

twistermind · 51-55, F

Thank you. He indeed deserves much more.
I would change for him if I could. But I know he never alloved such a thing.
I remember he once said to me. You and your siblings are the best thing I ever got.

ReaperofTime · 46-50, M

Im sorry this happened. It sounds like my father. Growing up we never had the best of relationship. Butted heads constantly. Still to this day. Tough love for me. Spoiling for my sister. Hes even making me pay for my own inheritance. But. I have a weird feeling. If he passed. Id miss the man.

twistermind · 51-55, F

Thank you.
You are younger than me but perhaps, your dad belongs to the same generation than mine. Men didn't use to have the freedom they have currently to express feelings and much less to other men.
In my case, I was the girl but we had a similar character so we use to shock a lot.
I unknown if it could be also your case.

I'm sorry for your loss, I'm glad you had a better relationship with your father than I had with mine

twistermind · 51-55, F

Thank you. Still my last recalling when I go to bed is for him.
Sorry to hear that your relation with your dad wasn't very good. From your words, it seems like you love him. I'm sure he felt the same for you.

SagePoet

@twistermind: he did things to me cause things were done to him, I know he loved me and despite what he did I loved him too

twistermind · 51-55, F

@feathers11: The same here. I think noone is perfect.

Wiseacre · F

This in response to ur last sentence: we never really lose the ones we love, cuz love is stronger than death!

twistermind · 51-55, F

Thank you. Without any doubt, he's still alive for me.

Wiseacre · F

@twistermind: ..Always will be!

SkunkedForLIfe · 41-45, M

Very true.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

This is such a beautiful tribute to your Papi. He has a wonderful daughter. We are gifts you know. 🤗

twistermind · 51-55, F

I needed it to do it. I feel such an empty just now.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@twistermind: I don't know that empty feeling you have but you have a good heart and I'm sure you will find other ways to fill it.

I think each good deed you do that would make your dad proud will fill your heart with much joy. And I believe that empty feelings will go away. ❤️️

twistermind · 51-55, F

@SimplyTracie: I hope this. Thank you for your kind words. :-)

My father died 30 years ago and I still miss him very much. I think of him often and it still hurts. I feel privileged to have known such fine man and am so very proud of his achievements.

twistermind · 51-55, F

@Nomad84: I understand you. There's no way to overcome such a significant loss. Only you can learn to live with it.
