Where are you Daddy?

Contributed by Kachina on Friday, 11th February 2005 @ 02:11:36 PM in AEST
Topic: Grief

Where are you dad? Where did you go?
I’m grown up now but still don’t know
What made you leave the way you did
A wife of fourteen years, along with four kids.

I was only twelve when you went away
We spent summer with grandma, you couldn’t stay
You had to go back to work, that was no crime
But little did I know it would be the last time.

Days went on, The weeks went by
I notice my mother beginning to cry
She didn’t tell me, though I knew she had a secret
So I read her diary to discover it

And when I did the pain made me lose my breath
The secret was my mother was facing death.
She had breast cander and called to let you know
you were suppose to arrive for the surgery but didn’t show.

You didn’t even call, you didn’t even care!
What hurt most of all that you wasn’t there!
When your wife needed you most, you left her alone!
She dealt with a chronic illness and a husband being gone!

Thirteen years later and still I get *****
No excuse can make up for you acting as if we don’t exist!
But we made it Daddy! and we’re no longer sad
Because My mother was the best father that we ever had.
