I wish you were here,
to see me grow up.
to see me get through middle school.

I wish you were here,
to see me get my learners permit.
to see me succeed in life.

I wish you were here,
to see me walk the field for my diploma.
to see me get my first real pay check.

I wish you were here,
to walk me down the aisle of my wedding.
to see me happier than ever.

I wish you were here,
to see my first child being born.
to see that you are missed daerly.

I wish you were here,
so I didn't cry when I thought of you.
so I could go to you when I had no one else.

But I understand, you're in a better place now.
Somewhere you won't hurt anymore.

And I know that soon I'll be standing by your side telling you everything I've been through.

I love and miss you so much.
