MEMORIES OF MY FATHER 5-27-18

Thinking About My Father

Dear Dad,

Every time I tell a joke, it reminds of the many times you told jokes that made everyone, especially me, laugh.

Every time I look at baseball, it reminds me of your love for the game.

I remember our times together which consisted of watching Baseball games, especially The Boston Red Sox.

Oh, how you loved The Red Sox.

You and I together, Dad, watching baseball, well, that was” Our Time”!

Looking back, Dad, I wish we had those times today!

Dad, I need to hear your jokes again, watch baseball with you again and hear more of your advice.

Dad, I need to talk to you again.

Where you were in my life is now a void, an empty space in my heart that you left when you died.

I draw back on my memories of you with sadness but, also with fondness and with gratitude to God that He gave you to us for a short time.

Dad, I miss you so, but I draw comfort in knowing God’s taking great care of you!

I wish you here, Dad, with me today!

I need you, Dad!

Love, your daughter,

                      Evelyn (Pinto)
