The last couple of months my dad said very little. A few words here and there. He mostly shook his head yes or no. I once asked him how long was Tim here, he said until he went home. I replied ok then. This to me was funny. Before cancer my dad would have given a time. I was trying to be funny and make my dad laugh when I said, have I told you, you are my favorite dad, he replied I am your only dad. My dad was not only my dad, but he was my best friend. The sorrow I feel only a person who lost a parent can relate to. I was with my dad every single dad for the last couple of months yet it still was not enough. My dad put his hand in the air as if he was reaching for someone or something. I asked my dad do you see mom, he shook his head yes. I love you dad, and I will miss you. Until I see again.
