The Gift

The Gift

© Lea Gomez

I will never say goodbye to you my Father

cause I know this is not the end for us to see each other.

You will only be going to a place where there’s no pain nor suffering.

I am happy for you, for you will be with God.

For now we need to go in separate ways.

I remember how your arms hold me and give me strength.

You were always there to listen, love, and defend me in everything.

You were my very best friend.

In my triumphs… Continue

Alone?

Am i alone? I certainly feel it. Along with an extreme amount of guilt for not being able to help my dad when he was dying, anger at my sister for hiding downstairs while it was happening. Regret that my older brother and sister hadn't seen him for a month. Confusion that i had a normal conversation with him, said i love you and goodnight, and half an hour later he was gone.
All of these feelings that i have had before in other circumstances, yet personifed by a thousand.
I need help.

Daddy.....

Dad as I sit here letting the tears fall hoping you really are watching over me in heaven, I realize how sad I am that you are no longer here on earth and that I'll never see or hear you again.



You were my hero are my hero daddy. You always had my back, answered any question I had, helped me learn how to dream, imagine, smile, laugh, talk, walk, etc.



I flew home to be by your side in the hospital because I love you so much. I didn't believe them when they said dad's dying,… Continue

My Dad.

6 months ago my dad died suddenly of a heart attack. Only me and my younger sister were in the house at the time. We were both in our rooms when we heard a crash out on the landing, and went out to see on the floor. I cant properly remember the next hour or so, but i remember sending my sister to ring for help, while i tried to resusitate him. People keep telling me that unless the ambulance there straight away then there is hardly any chance of success. I dont know whether to believe them or… Continue

I wish you were still here dad

I used to be able to ask him anything -- he was always there for me no matter what. It feels so strange to have that ripped away from me so suddenly. For the past week I've been dealing with it by avoiding any reminder that he's gone. Now it feels so overwhelming. I want to talk to him more than anything in the world. Where's my best friend? Where's my protector? Where's the person that's always been there? A part of me simply doesn't understand it. He can't be gone -- he just… Continue

i didnt write this poem but it really touched me alot

its called dont tell me















Don't tell me that you understand

Don't tell me that you know,

Don't tell me that I will survive

Or how I will surely grow.



Don't tell me that this is just a test

That I am truly blessed

That I am chosen for this task

Apart from all the rest.



Don't come at me with answers

That can only come from me,

Don't… Continue

Saturday: Pizza night with dad

Saturday always meant pizza night with dad. We've been getting pizza and watching a movie as a family every Saturday night for years. When my mom got stomach cancer last year, we started going to coffee together Saturday evenings prior to picking up the pizza. He wanted to get me out of the house and distract me. We talked about everything -- our love for the British television show "Doctor Who"; my plans for the future (I'm studying to be an animator); his plans for the various science fiction… Continue

Today is Friday, my dad, my best friend in the world, died Monday

My dad is the most wonderful person in the world. We shared everything. We like all the same movies, books, food ... . I knew I was always first in his mind. He was always concerned if I wasn't happy, and he tried everything to fix my problems should they arise. He made time to talk with me, and he was never angry if I disrupted him. I would scratch his back at night, and we would talk into the wee hours of the morning. He would always say, "I know I don't want this to end, but you should get… Continue

I miss my sister very much

I recently lost my sister about a month ago. She died from complications of a heart defect she was born with. She would have been 42 in three weeks. I can't sleep and I have nightmares about her death. She was not only my sister but my best friend. my heart feels like it has been torn in two and I feel like she took a part of me with her. Everyone keeps telling me that she is in a better place and I know that but it doesn't help me. At times i feel like I can't even catch my breath that i miss… Continue

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
