I cant sleep. I can barely breathe. Ive never felt a pain like this and never thought I would. Im hoping typing it out will give me some relief. 6 weeks ago today, my fathers birthday, my sister called me at 11:30am to tell me he passed away. Barely a minute had gone by. The single tear that she said had fallen down his cheek wasnt even dry yet. I cant shake that image. That Wednesday I waited for everyone to leave the funeral home and I told him the goodbye I wish I had the week before. I think I wiped away my tears just in time before my sister came back to see them. I put my arm around her as I had that whole day and we stood beside him. I thanked him for bringing us together. I told him I loved him, kissed his forehead just like every other night I saw him, and I turned to walk away, but then my sister paused... and said I love you, Daddy. I looked back at her just in time to see her take her thumb and wipe away that tear from his cheek. It broke my heart. I walked her out of the room and went to the bathroom and lost it. Its been haunting me ever since. Later today were going to lunch with my aunt, my cousin and her daughter. I need to get this out now and be strong for them. This helped.
