My Dad & I

Journaling reads: "My life would have been much different if...my dad had lived longer. He died right before I turned two. I have no memories of him and the words "my dad" seem strange for me to say. There is no doubt that my life would be very different, but how so? My dad was very athletic and he would have let me play the sports that I always longed to play. That I know for sure. And I wouldn't have felt like an outcast when the last few days of school came around and we started making things to take home to our dad's for Father's Day. Or worried so much about losing the only parent I had left. Or had a feeling that I wouldn't live past the age of eighteen. Would I have clashed with him or would we have been the best of pals? I don't know, but I know I get my temper from him. Would life have been easier or would we have still struggled to get by? Would we have always lived next door to grandma and grandpa? My dad's death definitely affected my life's dreams. I was never the kind of girl that dreamed of having a big wedding because my dad wouldn't be there to walk me down the aisle; instead, I dreamed of eloping with a man that I loved. One whose family loved me as much as I loved them. One whose father I could call "Dad" so I would know what it felt like. "
