Father-I grieve, mostly because I never knew you like I wanted. I grieve because I always thought I would. Even as an adult I carried a childlike hope that one day we would have the relationship I longed for. Memories of you are all I have, like a lonely picture on the mantle of my mind, a distant snapshot of another life, forever reminding me of a lifetime spent missing you.Now the door in this lifetime has closed and I pray with all my might that one will be open in the next. I will miss you father; I will miss you. Kansas City, MO US
