My Savior Dad!

Mending

I keep thinking to myself, why did I allow this to even happen? Now my father was upset. Do you know what that feels like?

"I love you too dad!"

I thought for a moment and asked a question that made my heart sink.

" What would I do without you? How would I get through this without you? We have always been together, your all I have and all ive ever known. How could I live?"

I felt a lump in my throat, the kind that screams anxiety. I swallowed hoping it would go away but the more I thought of the questions the more I freaked out.

I turned to look at dad only to see tears in his eyes as well. I guess we are both broken.

Its interesting when you begin to see things like never before. Like the pain in dads eyes or the love that seems to radiate from him. I know more now how much he cares then I ever would have thought.

"Mia," dad said softly, wiping his eyes "I am not going anywhere anytime soon. I promise that"

With that I got up, hugged him tightly and simply thanked him.

The rest of the night was silent. Dad read and I am writing. I want to tell him everything. But how to say it...

I got out a new piece of paper and started writing words down to dad. It is easier this way.

Dear dad,
