This poem was great! I lost my step-dad when I was 10. Its hard and I wish I had the gift you do to put my feelings down like that.

This is a turely amazing and beautiful poem. It made me cry and touched me so, for I have lost two fathers within weeks apart, I lost my stepfather on dec. 22,2003 and my father on jan. 19,2004.

Monica

Wow! This poem took me right back to the time I lost my dad. I was 13 when he died, and I never got that last chance to say goodbye. I am now 20, but I remember him just as clearly as now as I did then. Keep your memories and remember the happiest times.

Nikki, I know how you and many others feel. My dad died when I was 9 I am now 15. I still don't know to this day how he died And I miss him tremendously and I don't know if he knew he was my everything and he was all I had,now I'm all alone and I'm hating it. Your poem has helped me alot more than you'll ever know.

Hey Nikki. I feel you. I lost my mother when I was 8, now I am 14. See, she suffered from Hepitatis B and often gone to the hospital a lot. One night, she came back from the hospital and everything was going good until the early morning. I didn't get to see her smiling ever since she came home from the hospital. I love your poem and take care.

Nikki, Hey. I lost my father when I was 14. I am now 17. I never got to say goodbye either. I was in denial for a long time. He came home one night from work and was holding your chest. 10 minutes later he was unconsious. I thought that he would come home from the hospital and every thing would be back to normal. But when he lost consiousness, that was the last time we spoke to him. His last words were,"Anna! Don't you get in a fuss over me, I'm fine!" Anna is my mom. She's a manic depressive.

Elizabeth
