Til We Met Again

As I gazed out the window, watching the rain pour down swiftly with a steady beat, my eyes began to fill with tears. I couldn't speak, nor could I begin to process what was taking place. My throat was tight, my heart was heavy.
The night came quickly, as I sat there beside you, watching you sleep so peacefully. You looked tired, you were ready to let go of the pain. I was numb, I didn't even realize what truly was taking place before my eyes. It seemed like a nightmare, one that was never ending. The rain continued to pour down, fast and furious. The coldness of the air brought chills. I felt tired, and so sad. Soon, Jesus would come to take you home. But, I didn't realize the pain I would feel. It never occurred to me! Ignorance is Bliss! We 
never really know how it feels to loose a parent, a friend, a child, a sibling, until...... it finally happens! My heart broke with anguish! My wonderful dad was taken from us
on March 22nd, 2011, to live his new life in Heaven. I miss him so much, and my life feels different now. I am different. The world just isn't the same anymore. My hero, my father is no longer here, laughing, talking, celebrating the holidays with us. I am tired. I am now realizing what pain really is. The rain continues to fall down, fast and furious, just like before. I gaze out the window with tears in my eyes, knowing I will reunite once again with my beloved dad. He will be there for me with open arms.
