Daddy, daddy. People say all the time, “I get it, I get it.” But until they have lost their father or a parent they don’t understand the pain it brings along with it.

The loss is so empty, oh so hollow, I miss you you so bad it hurts. But daddy I understand, I really do. To set me free you had to be set free also.

It sucks, it really hurts pa, I am so sorry I really am. But I just know. I know and I believe daddy, you see you taught me to believe. You taught me the power of the mind. You did it all. I’ll miss you daddy, I really will and my heart will still have the place in my heart that’s especially made for you.

Maybe I’ll get a tattoo for you? I remember the times we had dad, you thought I wasn’t listening but I was. You saved me, but I saved you too. I love you pa, always and forever. I can see you in my mind, waving your hand as you always did.

Daddy, daddy. I hope your car is treating you well and the cats aren’t giving you too much trouble. Daddy, daddy - I see what I need to do, I’ll make you so proud, you’ll be brimming with tears from heaven. Please know you’re forgiven, I spent too many years holding a grudge against you but it isn’t time for this now. I want to remember the special times I got to spend with you in my garage, we would have the tunes loud and I’d be singing loud and free. I need to remember your advice, you just want me to be happy and I will be pa, it’ll be time soon to make you proud. But first pa, I have to make you proud, I got this I really do.

Daddy, daddy - no more tears from heaven, I got this daddy, I want to make you proud and that’s what I’ll be doing.

I am free, the cage will no longer cage me. The lamb will rise, but will not follow like sheep. Luna became uncaged. The tears of sadness are soon to go, I promise you’ll be proud of me.

I remember, I remember.
