This is my father,
putting on my shoes for me
doing what all fathers do
and helping his little girl
This is when I lived in California
not with my father
but near him
This was a time where I saw my father at least once a week
This is before the move
before I left him in California
and was brought here to Missouri
This is what I wished I had more of
more memories with him
and not just one summer a year
This is a time when life was easy
when I should have cherished the moments
This is nothing but a memory now.
Such a poignant thought: "not with my father/but near him." I can relate so much to the idea toward the end about not realizing how easy and special life was until those simpler times were long gone. I love the photo, Liana...such a tender, everyday moment.
