Dear Dad,

For the first time today I wanted to kill someone. Someone who took the dream you left behind for me, and shattered it. All you wanted in your life was to complete one simple dream. You were weeks from achieving it, but then you struck a tree. You left so unexpectedly, there was no time to prepare. For the grief, the sorrow, and the stress, that your death made us endure. Things are getting worse, as the weeks go by. Your dream and your legacy, are drifting away. The two people you wanted to pass it on to, are no longer in control. We tried so hard, and we want it so bad. We just wanted to finish, the aspiration of our dad.
I found out some awful news today. Your dream is being stolen, by your unfaithful fiance. Oh, it is her and her boyfriend by the way. They are gonna get your dream, and desecrate it till the death. Im so sorry dad, I know this is exactly what you didnt want. I feel like im on an island, and there is nothing I can do. I feel so sorry, so empty, and so speechless for you. After your death, everything went the way you would have hated. I cant do a damn thing, but I really want to change it.
I miss you dad, I want you back. To bring sanity back in my life, and fulfill my peace of mind. Days have been hell, knowing youre not here. I think Im going crazy, and no one else can relate. This last incident was a final blow. I feel so empty and incomplete. Dad, I need you, to get me back on my feet. My life came to a halt on that dreadful day, and I cant see it ever being the same. I love you dad. I always have and I always will. I guess the point of this letter is to ask you to give me the strength that you always seemed to have. I cant picture myself going on, living in such misery. I loved you so much dad, and now its time for you to help me.

-Your Son
 
I'm sorry to hear all of this, I lost my dad 2 years ago and it took me some time to pick up the pieces. I hope you find the strength you are looking for, you have come to a good place, if nothing else you will find those who are feeling exactly like you. Welcome.

this sounds like a very personal piece. i know what it's like to have so many things to say to someone who will never be able to hear them in person, and i hope putting them down in writing has helped you as much as it does me.
 
I saw the title and knew it was gonna be worth reading.

Hope you find the same inner strength as your dad.

But at least you had someone to look up to.......
 
This piece makes me want to just hug you and tell you it will be alright but all i can say,, I am glad you got to write it out and I hope it helps. I have been there and now even 15 yrs later,, I still miss him


I am glad you bought it here for us to read and share your pain with us.
