My Dad

Today is my dad's birthday. I really miss him. Today it kind of hurts to think about. You see, my parents got divorced when I was in kindergarten. I don't remember much about living with him. But I remember how much my parents fought when he came to visit my brother and I. When my parents got divorced, my brother and I went to live with my mother's parents, my grandparents. We had a great life with them, they gave us everything. We did not see my dad very often. I think it was just easier for him to stay away. I feel cheated that I did not get to live with him. When I got older, I tried to spend as much time with him as I could. I watched him suffer with his jaw cancer. It breaks my heart to think about it. Dad, you are at peace now, and we will see you again.
