Chapter 3
" Your father is now better, but he will still be in the hospital until after the holiday season." Said my mother.
We were once happy as one family, and now am left asking why happiness was taken from us suddenly.
Holiday season is all about gathering with friends and family, but how can you celebrate if you are gathering with an uncompleted family.
Gathering as one family every year of holiday seasons was my biggest dream, looking across the table and seeing an empty seat made my heart scream.
Maybe we could have lived that dream if I prayed so hard, how lucky I might to have you as a dad.
Imagine growing up, with a father like him guiding you as a map.
I would cherish every moment with you, because I know you would have been there for me wouldn't you?
How I wish you were here for all my firsts, with you there it would have been my happiest moments.
But now all my firsts, felt like another day without you by my side.
From my first day of middle school, to my first day of high school.
From my first day of playing a soccer game, to the first day Me and my soccer team lost a game.
I will always write a poem for my dad, won't ever stop till am dead.
We would have sailed through the seas together as one, and conquered the world side by side.
All I can do now is to honor you and make you proud, I will always adore you my dear dad.
For all I know you are a great father, and life with you here would have been a whole lot better.
People say you don't know what you've got until it's gone, truth is I knew I had a father I just thought I would never lose him.
