On August the 9th, 2002, my beloved father passed away. I remember having
nightmares about dad dying, so I’d wake him up 3:00 in the morning to check to see if
he was OK. And even now it all feels like a dream. Was I too selfish to ask to see my
father with me a little longer? I probably was. But you all know how God works in
mysterious ways, well when God sees his children hurting, he helps them.
My father has been from death and back many times before, but God wanted to set
our affairs straight. He got us into this nice house, got us great neighbors, my mom a
great job with great co-workers to get us through this time of sorrow, and got my mom’
s washer moved from the kitchen into our laundry room. But of course I’ll miss our
little conversations on the porch, and when he was always nagging me to practice the
drums, and taking me to any fast - food place I would want to go to, even if he was
tired or in pain. And when he used to take me to school and home, finding him asleep
in the car outside with his newspaper in his hands.
But I know he’ll always be there for me, when I graduate High School, and college,
when I get my license and a job, and a house of my own, and get married and have
kids of my own to carry out his name. But at least now he’s in a “non - pain” zone with
all the History channel stories he can watch. And at least now he’s with his family,
Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Marie, and Uncle Joe. And also Grandpa Carmine who also
served his purgatory on earth before passing away on the 30th of July. But they’re all
up there watching us and getting us though the pain and suffering. I heard the our
guardian angel is supposed to look exactly like us, well my dad is my guardian angel
now, because if he was my age, we would be twins. And of course, I was his little
baby boy and he would always watch out for me. But now he can be everywhere and
light as a feather. And all I can say to dad, is I LOVE YOU & I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU,
& I’LL SEE YOU LATER, BUT NOT JUST YET.
THANK YOU
