Another Father's Day has come and gone but you'll always be my dad no matter how much time passes. It has been 12 years since I recieved the call and I can remember everything about that moment in time like it happened yesterday. I always heard the loss of a parent gets easier to accept over time but I will have to disagree. I was too young to realize how much of an important part of my life you were and I didn't know you like I think I would know you now if you were still alive. We didn't get to share some of the biggest events in my life. I know that sounds selfish, but I'm not being selfish. I just wish were had been here with me to celebrate some milestones in my life, in person rather than in spirit. You were taken just days before I turned 21, just over a year before I graduated from college, a mere 5 years before John and I got married, and 8 years before Gabe was born. My wish is for you to tell me what you think of me as your adult daughter. I wish you were able to tell me if you are proud of me. I wish you could meet John and most imporantly I wish you were here to be a Grandpa to Gabe. He would have loved spending time with you and I am sure you would have loved spending time with him just as much. I may never understand why you were chosen when you were or think it was fair. I know you probably didn't realize how much I loved you then because I took it for granted that you would always be there. It was dumb of me, but I was 20 years old and thought I could do everything on my own. I became independent pretty quickly and did my own thing. I didnt call as often as I should have when I think back on all it all ended. I know you didn't know how much I loved you and how much I would miss you. I can't change anything about the past, but I hope you do know you are loved and missed. I love and miss you Dad.
XOXO Barbara
