Father’s Day Memories
Used to be such a happy day. I use to celebrate this day with joy in my heart, thankful for my father and him keeping himself strong everyday. The Father’s Day i spent seeing him when he was sober free we were fishing, out to lunch, or antique shopping. Since you left me dad, since your addiction took a-hold of you i have all this love in my heart with no one to give it to. If your father has passed this day will be a struggle for you. You will watch as others love and praise their fathers while you might feel anger or hurt in your heart towards others because your jealous of what you don’t have anymore.
My dad passed away August 27, 2014.
I have started to lose memory of his voice, every single detail of him. My dad was quite the character, he had sarcastic humor and a heart so rare.
He wanted so badly to love and be their for his family. Sadly addiction took a-hold of my father. My father was a determined person and fought addiction his entire life. He loved to tell stories, and make you laugh from his corny jokes till your stomach hurt. My first fathers day without him i spent the day in tears at his grave screaming and yelling so angry with the world. I couldn’t help but scream to god with anger at him for letting my dads addiction take his life. I hadn’t realized that their was a plan, someday i would.
The plan was for me to educate others on Drug Addiction and the disease. I will spend my life educating others on this disease, and i will help in anyway i can. Along the way i met a friend and she has become one of my best-friends. About halfway through our friendship she lost her father. I felt anger again towards the world for letting God take away her dad.
