You took a piece of me with you the day you left,
leaving me unable to catch my breath.
This isn't how it was supposed to be!
The world carries on like nothing has happened, but not me.
I'm stuck in this uncomfortable place of pain that no one can see.
I ask God to bring you back as I fall to my knees.
Tossed to and fro in a raging tide of emotion;
without you, I'm just so lost and broken.
I can still hear you calling my name,
then reality sets in and I'm reminded my life will never be the same.
Out of the corner of my eye I see you there, but when I turn to look, you fade away.
What I wouldn't give to just have one more day.
One more day to hold your hand
and to watch you live your life as you planned.
One more day to sing our song, "Close To You,"
and listen to you sing it to your dad too.
I think about all the things I'll miss,
your smile, your laugh, your kiss.
I don't know how to make it through this,
when all I want is to call it quits.
As I look into your little eyes, I know I have to carry on
so I can tell world about your love.
I'll tell the world how much you loved and how you couldn't wait for life to begin.
Because of your love, I know you will always be near.
My little girl has gone,
but to her world I will continue to sing our song. 3/11/23 My 16 year daughter was given fentanyl laced pills , went to cardiac arrest was found unconscious . prayed over by family and loved ones is grieving the process as well as having to lay my child to rest. As a single father for 16 years she has left a hole in my heart that can't be filled, having to lay your only child to rest is the worst feeling a parent has to go through, missing out of the most important moments in life being able to grow old with my daughter, being able to share in her strengths, joys, pains , her first car college, tears ,fears , Most of all hearing her say DAD this loss is more than any parent should have to go thru. She left this world, and everyone she has come in contact with a hole in there hearts. The love she holds is priceless . I will forever miss you Allison your dad will never be the same. I'm forever broken 😭 I miss you Allison Lynette.
