That and it seems so dreary and short, well recent events took a toll on me. My father died a few days ago, I'm holding onto that sealed envelope with the signed card inside he'll never open. All my heart and all my regret for what we held between us went into this little piece. A final farewell to the man who brought me into this world. He left it at such a young age, and while we never had a good relationship.....some part of me thinks he wanted to step forward like I did and fix that. This is my Father's day gift to you Dad, rest in peace.

I already signed your card......for Father's day.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
