Green River, Wyoming.... I don't even remember where my father is buried. That saddens me. It has been too long since I've visited him, at least 6 or 7 years. I vagely remember how to get to the cementary, let alone his grave. I am hoping when I get there I will remember... My father, oh how I miss him. He is stuck there in the dirt, all alone.
The years passes by, the memories are slowly fading. I have one picture of him. I am sure my mother has more, perhaps I shall stop by and grab some; put it in frame, on the mantel.
July 4th 1994 it has been 14 years. I remember he use to call in the mornings to wake me up for school. He would always call on time. I would get up, wake my mom and brother up and get ready for school; eat breakfast, shower and what not. I loved my father and still do. I ask myself why, many times. I have looked for answer through prayer, but at the end he is gone and I am here to wander the earth alone.
He is gone, and I am here to wander the earth alone.
Will I ever truly be healed? and be able to let go? move forward?
My father he is gone. I will cherish the 9 years I had with him and remember the moments we shared.

Your words touch the soul Jena. I am certain you will remember how to get to his grave, that is not something easily forgotten. It may not be present in conscience memory but it is something our hearts won't let us forget quite so easily. And if for some reason you do forget, your father will be there guiding you. Stay strong my dear, you are not quite as alone as you think.
Jena!
I wish I was there to show you because I remember where it is. I remember your dad. He was great. It has been 6 years now since my mom has been gone...I know the pain you feel. I know that we are not alone here on this earth and he is not just in the dirt. He is in a better place. If the vail of this earth was removed your dad would be ther more then you think. I love ya and stay strong!! When will you be going back to GR? Let me know how it goes.
