Dear Dad,
It’s hard to believe how long it’s been since I last heard your voice.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you — your smile, your wisdom, the way you made everything feel okay.
Life feels quieter without you.
The world keeps spinning, but there’s a space in my heart that will never be filled.
Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend you're still here — sitting in your favorite chair, calling my name, or telling one of your old stories.
And in those moments, I feel a little closer to you.
I miss your advice, your laughter, and your silent strength.
I miss the way you believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself.
You were more than a father.
You were home.
If love could build a stairway, I’d climb to heaven just to hug you one more time.
Until that day comes, I carry you with me — in every decision, in every quiet night, in every part of who I am.
I love you, Dad. Always.
