#75 Greatly Missed

If only there could be some way that my Dad could be here - or that the day he died had never happened. But that is impossible, and it leaves me dealing with pain, Missing him so very much!

Greatly Missed

by Amy Richards

A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.

An empty house, An empty chair,
A fathers love, No longer there.

A broken heart, Tear filled eye,
Another soul to fill the sky.

Many memories in my mind,
Some I laugh, Some I cry.

The times we shared, The laughs we had,
Things I miss when I think of you Dad.

Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,
Only memories, Of what once was you.

Missing your laugh, I will never again hear.
That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.

No more smile on your face,
No more warmth of your embrace.

The last hug, The last kiss,
The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish...

To have you Dad, here today,
Never to leave your Daughter this way.

A Father's touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED!

My Father-in-Law passed away 1 year ago. I have been trying to do my best by my wife. Sharing my experience of when I lost my Dad 17 years ago. I can say that I have been doing a pretty good job in helping her to deal with her loss. But your poem really put things into perspective for her. she felt like "finally there is someone out there who really understands what she is going through. This has been an really good bonding thing for us, as I sometimes do not understand what she is truly feeling. For she was definately closer to her dad than I was to mine. I hope that it is alright that Make a copy of your poem for my wife to read. It really did her a lot of good. I don't know how I can thank you.

Your poem was wonderful. I lost my father in 2001. Even though it has been a few years, it still seems like yesterday. I was his little girl. I know you have a great talent.

This poem is a reflection on how i feel after losing my dad juz 2 mths ago. It was sooo sudden & unexpected tat am still not able to face the truth yet i guess. "An empty house, An empty chair,A fathers love, No longer there. " Each day i go back home and see the empty chair tat was occupied by dad jus breaks my heart. I miss him soo much & knowing tat i'll neva be able to hear his voice or see him again, its sooo painful :(

Hi My name is Jazmyn and I completely understand what happened. Two and a half years ago my daddy died too. He was hit by a van. When I went to his funeral I couldn't even cry. When I saw his face it hurt alot. Every single night when I'm alone I cry so bad that at times I can't even breathe. I keep thinking what if I had been there to save him, would he still be here with me today? I really love your poem. It's Beautiful.
