I wish I could say that I was able to enter 2021 in good spirits, but unfortunately my family has taken blow after blow with the closing of 2020, due to the deaths of both my grandmother and my father who left us merely 2 days after Christmas. To be truly honest these last few months, I have been struggling with a lot of depression and grief. There is so much I wish I could have said to my father while he was sill with me, but I never got the chance, so I decided to write a letter to him here as a form of release and a final farewell.
Dear Daddy,
I never thought you would be gone so soon. I really thought you would leave the hospital and we would be joking about how much you hated the hospital food and how you bossed those poor nurses around.
You were always the life of the party and it hurt so much to know you were so ill and could barely do any of the things you liked. It was hard knowing that my strong dad who could walk miles everyday and leap for baskets at night couldn't move. I know it hurt you so much to have to depend on everyone else.
