A Lonely Dad

[RiversideFrenchman]

How strange to awake alone! The funeral was two weeks ago and here I awake to a silent house without my wife and little girl. I can still hear the sound of crunching glass and metal and see the bruises on my skin. How is it I was spared from the finality of death and end up here alone and missing everything that was preciouse to my life. Oh how I wish I had another little girl to hold on my lap and talk to in the silence of the early morning. Someone to feel and hold closely....it is perhaps a silent prayer that will never be answered. If I could only awake again to the presence of love and warmth.
