I talked with you the other day and it made
me kind of sad, a final realization
that my time with you was running short.
I never thought of you as getting older.
You were just my Dad!
Time was never meant to catch up to you.
You'd been ill, and had missed my birthday
something you've never done before.
So when I called I was already worried.
You alarmed me with your talk of the past,
your my only Father and
I feared the great impact your leaving
would have on my life.
Remembering, that in a childs mind
your Dad would never leave and
time is never meant to catch up to our Dads.

My Dad
WOW. a place to talk about me. well, I am a Wife, Mother and Grandmother, old lady and friend. While at work, Maria Serrato loves calling me Pookie and Short Stuff and the sad things is I think I am starting to answer to those two names. My family is everything to me and I sincerely value the great friends I have in my life. Way too many to mention, but hopefully you all know who you are. I've always wanted a place to leave my words to share with those I care so much about. I have to share, and knowing me can and will most likely and I say this kindly you'll find yourself in my words. Having said that you've all been warned...lol
