to daddy...

Wish you could see me now. I know you would be proud of the person I have become. The person you knew I would be. And that makes me smile inside.

The sun that shines inside my heart for you is like no star because it can never die; never blow into millions of destruction. It is everlasting. And so unlike your passing.

I am wrapped up in a heady sense that I am accepted and wanted, and in my dreams I can still hear you say my name in the moments before I pass into a deep sleep.

I wear your ring everyday to remind me that once you were tangible, alive, real. Not a figment of my imagination. Not there for a tormenting sadness.

The times I think on are happy and that is all I need to know.. to know that I am missed. Just as much as I miss you.

So I am strong, I am smart, I am funny. Just because there is no other way to be. Or I would sink into that abyss.
