When I was little..
When I was little.. We would talk about the future. About every begining and every end.
When I was little.. You said would be there for every milestone. My basketball games. Teaching me how to ride ATVs. Teaching me how to cook basic and advanced meals, and so much more.. All the way to when I graduated... Even though I didn't, you never scolded me. And when I got married, I had you walk me down the aisle.
When I was little.. we talked about the inevitable day that you wouldn't be here anymore. I asked you to haunt me, always watch over me because I never wanted to be without you. You told me your favorite song and to listen for it. I hear it almost every day on the radio now. If there is an afterlife, I like to think that that's you.
When I was little.. I never expected I'd have to figure out how to continue on without you. It was always us against the world. Not even out of my 20's. How am I supposed to do this without my best friend?
When I was little.. I never thought we would have a falling out. Nothing could ever come between us. I broke contact and within the year, you were lost. It will forever be the biggest mistake I have ever made.. I hope you know that I always have and always will love you. And I don't think I will ever stop missing you.
When I was little.. you were my best friend. And as I grew up, you still are.
I love you dad.
