“My father’s passing reminds me of the shattered dreams and unfulfilled hopes I once had.”

 

“The death of an absent father brings up the pain of missed opportunities and unspoken words.”

My biological father passed away today.

He chose not to be in my life.

They erased me from his obituary. Just like he erased me from his life.

I don’t grieve the man.

I grieve the time we never spent together.

I grieve the memories never made.

I grieve the love never given.

I grieve the life never shared.

I grieve what could have been.

I grieve what will never be.
