The Journaling reads: What would I do with one more day with you? I would make sure there was nothing to get in my way. No phones, no TVs nothing. I'd spend every second of that 24 hours with you. I would hold onto you as if my life depended on it. To feel your time worn hands hold mine. To feel your arms wrapped around me. I would smell you. Take in the scent I grew up with. Old Spice. That is what you always smelled like. I would allow that smell to envelop me and penetrate my clothes so that when you were gone I'd still have it with me. I would record every word you say as we talked about your childhood, my childhood, how you loved mom. I would listen to every word. I would hang on the next word. Just to hear your voice. To hear you laugh would be amazing I would watch the sunrise with you. I would watch the waters of the great lakes crash over the shores near a lighthouse with you. I'd still be sitting with you when the sun set over the horizon. I would watch the stars as they came out and twinkled in the night sky. I' would do anything and everything you want to do. But as I write this, I realize that if I was given one more day with you Dad, I would give you to Mom for the day. I know you loved me and I loved you, but it would mean more to me for her to get one more day with you. ~ I miss you Dad
