I never doubted that you loved me,
Even when you were far away.
I have always felt supported,
In my career or at play.
When I told you of my far-flung dreams
You offered advice on how to reach them
I never feared coming out to you
(I didn't know how rare that was, then)
Others speak of absent fathers,
Of ones who didn't care.
Of Dads who never knew them,
And I'm so grateful to have you here.
There was a Father's Day challenge last year, but not this year. I wrote a poem anyway.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
