March 9, 1931 – March 18, 2005
With my father’s death:
I’ve lost my first source of knowledge
I’ve reached out to ask him about Prince Charles’ wedding…the tradition and protocol of our Royal family.
I’ve wanted to talk to him about the Pope’s death, of the choosing of a new Pope…the history and ceremonies involved.
Once more I would like him to explain these crazy political parties of ours…what would he say about the Liberals and the NDPs
I’m afraid I’ll fail in keeping his memory alive for my daughter.
I need him to tell me everything will be okay, again.
Because of my dad, I know
I am my father’s daughter…that’s nice…and scary.
Family is first and foremost
There is no challenge or fear I cannot overcome
There is no dream I cannot make come true
I learned to believe in me because he believed in me
I will never fail my child because he never failed me
Daddy, I know nothing will ever be the same again, but just like you’ve told me time and time again, at all my life’s ups and downs, and my heart hears you now.
Everything will be okay.
Okay?
Forever changed.
