Good bye we said that night
Your body wasn't the same either was mine,
We didn't know what to say or do,
I just sat there in your hospitial room,
Wondering is this true you said "yes",
Hours have passed and I want to go home,
Mom says wait and you look so sad so we talk more,
All your friends are in your room too,
You look so sick I ask "are you comming home",
Everyone looked at me and I said "well",
The next day I didn't feel like comming to visit you,
Mom asked "why" I said I need time to myself,
Everyone kept calling "are you okay" I'd roll my eyes,
I said "yes I'm fine now go with dad",
You were looking for me but no one wanted to tell you that I could longer face you.
The time came you were getting ready to die and Mom knew it,
You look around the room looked at my letters and took one last breath and.........Died,
The day before Christmas.
The pastor came in my room and said "Hey Chocolate Lady your dad had to go to heaven",
I started to shake and cry and I couldn't talk,
Everyone came into my room and comforted me and you did too.
I thought all about our memories that we had and I cried.
There was a memory that I told everyone when they were cleaning the house it was
" See this pan? they all looked I said well mom when you went Christmas shopping dad left the plastic on the grill cheese",
They all started laughing even I did.
Untill we meet again
~*~Good Bye Dad~*~
Love always ~*~The fairy princess~*~

Oh my, that was sad but so beautiful! I know the feeling of losing a parent. It's hard and hurts beyond what words could ever say!
