Those who think there is a time limit when grieving,

Have never lost a piece of their heart.

Missing you isn’t about how long it’s been

Since I’ve last seen you,

Or the amount of time since I’ve talked to you.

It’s about that very moment in my day when I’m doing something

And wishing you were there by my side sharing it with me.

Miss you so very much dad!
