Family Death Poem

Next Poem >>

My father past a way last year (from a long fight with cancer), two months after my son was born. Everyone said he was "waiting" to see the baby. When he saw him he seamed so sad. he finally realized he would never really know him. This is what breaks my heart. I cant even enjoy my son with out missing my dad.

Dad, Where Are You?

Gone...but where?
I can't call you on the phone
I can't knock on your door
No matter how loud I scream you can’t respond

I held your hand as you took your last agonizing breath
You fought with your heart and your soul
you fought for me and to watch my son grow, but you lost..
we lost

My son will never know you;
how funny you were
how generous you were
how there was nothing that could stop you from giving me everything I needed and wanted...except this

You won’t be able to walk me down the aisle
You won’t see me graduate from college
You won’t comfort me as life pushes me down

where are you?
I want to hug you and tell you I love you Again
I want sit and have hot cocoa and coffee together
I want to laugh and smile the way only you could make me
I miss you like crazy dad
I just wish I could find you somewhere out there to let you know.
Dad, Where Are You? by KK Tex @FamilyFriendPoems

My dad died at the end of last year after a three year battle with cancer. Two days before he died I miscarried my first child (he never knew I was pregnant) and 4 months after he died my sister gave birth to my niece and his first grandchild. She has brought so much joy to our lives but I feel the same as you, he will never see his grandchildren, they will never know how wonderful he was and he will never walk me down the isle. It's so hard, I wish he was still here

This poem really struck something in me. This is exactly how I feel. My father passed away and I miss him like crazy. I was just 16 and he got hit by a car. It was so unexpected. He wont know my husband, my kids, wont see me graduate, or walk me down the aisle. it really hurts. but I hope you stay strong!!!!

This poem really resonated with me because I went through the same thing. My father had a long awful fight with cancer and I stayed with him until he took his last breath. The last thing I told him because I knew how much pain he was in was that it was okay and he could let go and that we would be fine but when in fact, five years have passed and it hurts to not have him here as much as it did the day he left. He was my best friend, the person I would go to for anything and everyday without him has been a struggle...for a girl who was daddy's girl, losing your father is one of the hardest things to go through in life. So to all that have lost their father and who go through the same, my heart goes out to you...I miss you daddy...and love you very much xoxoxoxo

It's like reading my story. My father just passed away from cancer in September. My son isn't even two. It breaks my heart that he will not remember how much his pappa loved him. I was so blessed to have him in my life, and I wanted him there when I get married to walk me down the aisle too! I miss him so much, and feel for everyone going through this pain.

I got an email about this poem the other day. I wrote it so long ago. I had never seen all the comments. Its really touching to know so many other people have gone through the same feelings. I actually got married this year. It was a small ceremony on my Dad's birthday. It was really special to do it then. It was very happy. I try to think my Dad is always watching but it is still hard. Thanks for your comments.
