may 4, 2010 changed my life. it is now the 8th and I haven't slept a wink. I've never been at dad's without him here. I've been up all night alone at his house but usually now is the time he comes out in robe, a surprised look on his face, a gruff little cough and a big hug. The familiar smell of man and coffee brewing. Then a swift kick off the computer for his turn to check the weather and let his morning unravel. I speak to him now, and tell him I patiently wait for you to wake, I must learn how to start a summer without our morning voices, hugs and coffee. I don't know where you're at and I don't know why I'm not with you. You always said I was your girl and we could live in the clouds. I'm waiting for you to wake up. I'm 23 years old and I don't think you're gone. I'm about to make coffee so please wake up soon. I'll wait. If you don't come I will have to go to your funeral today and the thought is making my heart churn in the most painful tormenting disgust. I can't stop crying and I need your arms. So please wake up soon, this is starting to feel real. I forever love you.
