I Miss You
I still miss you
As the weeks and years go by.
I still miss you
Our lives are so busy and sometimes we live so far from our families. We miss the relationships with our families and often we do not even share important life events with them. We need to move back towards our families. If not in actual distance then at least we must move closer in our hearts. We live in a time where there are unprecedented communication possibilities. No one will ever love us unconditionally like our family can. We'd be fools not to take advantage of this opportunity.
Brother John, though it must hurt so much that you and the love of your life had to part, keep this thought in your heart, the day will come when you and your wife will meet in heaven and...

There are now three empty chairs at the Christmas table.
It's a time I find difficult, even unable
To find joy on this family day.

Don't ever say goodbye, even if you leave
I'll always be your little girl, pulling at your sleeve
Don't ever say goodbye if you're not coming back

My Marine so far from home.
Over seas, but not alone.
I hold you close in my thoughts and prayers.
Missing you through all my tears.
Every time I think of this,
My heart seems to shatter, how unnatural it is,
What an awful hour,
The thought of me leaving,
Dad, why did you leave me when I needed you so much.
I tried to reach out to you for that loving touch.
I have realized now that I'm no daddy's princess.
When I was younger, I actually felt much less.
17 years has been too long,
I don't know much just that you're gone.
I think about you everyday,
And if I see you what I'd say.
The poem 'Daddy', really touched me because I don't have a father.
My mother died when I was one and a half due to a heart attack.
I live with my grandparents now. I always have wondered if...
