The One True Loss

by Devin   Jul 15, 2007


This isnt a poem just a quick note. People talk about their father or dads walking out on them but no one really truely knows. I just recently lost my dad and this is my story.

My dad and I were really close. He wasnt like any other. I could talk to him and tell him what was going on in my life and he was there for me. He was that person that I could talk to about anything. The last time I talked to my dad we got into an arguement. He promised me we were going to hangout all day just Father and Son. but instead he was called into work. We yelled and fought like no other before. I called him things that I regret now. My dad went to work and usually he is home by time I wake up. I woke up and no one was around. I was still mad so I really didnt care, but by time I got out of school I started to worry. I get home and the phone rings. It is my mother and she cant even talk. I ask whats wrong and she yells and screams. I tell her to calm down but it doesnt help. Finally my grandma picks up the phone. She says she is sorry that my dad is gone. I ask what are you talking about that cant be right. She tells me the story of how he lost his life. He never came back from work because there was an accident. I will never forget him because he was always there. It's so very hard now not having someone.. My mom and dad were divorced and I lived with my dad. My life has never been the same and I dont think it will be ever again. I love you dad if you can hear I miss you like crazy and I wish you were here. I'm sorry for the fight.. Thats all I can say. I feel like it was my fault and I think it really is. I'm sorry =(

    Check it out, june 29th 2006 i lost my mother and the day before me and her had got into a large argument and then i woke up the next morning and found her still and blue and called 911, as i waited for paramedics the operater had me perform CPR. im tramatized to the point that when people are sleeping i end up waking them up just to make sure they are ok.
    i lost my life the day i lost my mom. i hope things for you get better, i've sure grown from the expierence and i regret being so ignorant. id change the last day with her completely.
