dear father
.
I love you.
you wanted to
hear this from me
for twenty five years
I wanted to tell you
when your wife
unfolded your
story
how we
were alike
crazy misfits
fun loving
animals
how you
changed
for your wife
and your
kids
and you
kept saying
stop smoking
stop drinking
today I
say the words
you wanted
to hear
you won't hear
you're not here
I say
I miss you
and that
I do
.

This could have been written by my brother. Made me cry. I know my dad knew my brother loved him .
This is beautiful and I'm sure your dad heard it.
