Love Letter To My Son
My Dearest Son:
I miss you. Everyone misses you. I know I haven't written to you in awhile. It's not because I don't love you. I love you with all that is me. I blink of you every day and I still wonder in my mind if things would have been different for you if I would have been there in your life. No, I'm passed the place of blaming myself now.
I just miss you and dawdled on the times we had together and, believe me, son, they were all good times. You were a beautiful little baby, a little boy with so much joy in your eyes; a handsome young man always so eager to share yourself, even when your heart was in so much pain. I miss that little boy of mine who loved to laugh whom everybody loved.
I know you're watching me, son, and don't worry—Jimmy's not replacing you. He just reminds me so much of you, always eager to share his self, trying to make everyone laugh all the time. His life mirrors yours, his mother was never there, but he still loves her for the times she was. He hates his father right now. I hope he gets over that soon. He has nothing to look forward to—a lot like you, a lot like me.
You once asked me how I keep going. I don't know—hope, maybe. I just keep hoping and dreaming.
It's a beautiful day today. Sunshine in the 90s, a light wind. I can almost hear the bicycle singing. I will keep you here in my heart all day as I do every day. I will always love you, and I will always miss you. We all do. Tell Grandma hi for me.
Loving you as always,
Daddy
P.S. I promise to write you every year for your birthday
♥ Dad
