Hi daddy. I miss you so much. I can hear your voice, laughter and sarcastic words like echos. Your energy always filled the room. All my friends loved you and would always tell me if they bumped into you at the store. They’d tell me you’re a cool dude. They’d tell how lucky I am to be so close to my dad. Gosh I miss you. I can hear your paulisms so clearly. Words you’d always say. That’s the gift of closeness, when you can retell someone else’s stories, say someone else’s words, empathize with how someone else is feeling. “Don’t cry, I’m leaving you” you always say. But it’s hard not to. I love you. I miss you.
