"The greatest man I never knew"- Rebba

As your birthday approaches I think about all that both of us missed out on. You never saw the grandson that has your eyes or that granddaughter that is her mothers twin. but more than that you missed out on your daughters life and she missed out on her fathers wisdom. The past cant be changed and the future does not exsist for us. What I have learned from this is that you have to tell the people you love that you love them every day cause tomorrow is not promised. You were trying and I shut you out. Thats what I am the best at. I get hurt and I shut my love down totally. Guess thats how I got to where I am today. I know you were trying but at the time all I could remember was all the times I needed a fathers love and felt like I didnt get it. I have also learned that people arent perfect and that I have to accept them for who they are. I know you loved me but you werent the type of person that showed your emotions. I should have been there but I wasnt. I cant change that or even know if it would have helped. I love you daddy please forgive me.
