All Comments on 'To Daddy'

A lovely and heart wrenching piece of work.

Well done.

This must be from the heart as each of us has had a similar experience and know its true depth. Pain subsides with time, but memories keep their spirit alive. From agony comes joy, from screams come sighs and acceptance. You have touched at least one person very deeply. Thank you.

Beautiful exploration of healing through death, and so well constructed on a framework of related thoughts by various well-known writers.

This was personal as only experiencing love and death can we really feel these things. Very well done.<p>I know as time goes by you want to flail yourself for realizing you haven’t thought of the loved one for a day or two. This isn’t unfaithfulness it is love letting you set them free and knowing you still have their memory safe within yourself. Memories fade, but love is still there and it is still just as strong.<p>So very well written. Thank you<p>PT

One doesn't chose your relatives or who of them you love - you just do.<P>

Sterling work lady and appreciated.<P>

With Very High Regard

You loved your Dad.. I'm sure he knew, but as you say if the addiction is bad enough the drug will take over in the end.. You are doing very good on your own writing this.. Your Pa would have been proud over you girl.. Keep on loving and remember that everything comes in a circle, from birth to death, spring to autumn, summer to winter.. Keep that flame of yours burning.. Cheers Yoron.

I can't say a parent has died, but I can say that I lost my brother to Leukemia. The situation and feelings aren't the same. I would never insult someone by saying I know what they went through, that would be a straight up lie. My brother was not your father, our relationships were not the same nor were the situations of their deaths. But the Feelings, My God the feelings are so similar. The pain the anger the grief while always different are a connection between those of us who have experienced such loss. You articulated these feelings beautifully and I simply must say thank you.
