Letter to a Deceased Person - Twitter!Verse

Letter Meme, Day 11

Dear Dad:

I can't believe you're gone.  Your funeral is tomorrow, and the rabbi asked me to say a few words.  I don't think I can do it.  I keep remembering the look on your face when you said goodbye to me.  I shouldn't have let you go, I knew something terrible was going to happen.  I should have been stronger, I should have fought harder.  I'm so, so sorry.

George told me that you're with Mom now, and that makes me feel a little better.  Say hi to Grandpa for me, I know he's happy to see you too.  The weekend we spent together was so important to me.  Before I went to see you for the first time, months ago, I was afraid that I'd never be able to see you as my father again, and that I'd never feel like your daughter.  We were so close when I was little, and I wanted that again.  And being with you in New York, just hanging out together at the apartment watching t.v. - we found it again, didn't we?  It almost felt like we'd never been apart.  I never stopped loving you, even when I thought I hated you.  I will always love you, and miss you more now than ever.

Please try not to worry about me.  I know you only got to meet Peter, but I have lots of people in my life looking out for me.  I even call one of them 'mom' sometimes.  They are all taking care of me, or at least trying to.  I won't be alone, I promise.  And even when they're not around, I will always have you and mom in my heart.

I love you.  I miss you.

<3 Your Katie

It'll be OK, darlin'. Maybe it don't feel like it now, but it will.

I'm an orphan. How will that be okay?

I know you. You're stronger than you look. You can handle this.

[Why does people being nice to her make her cry?]

Now you've done it...
