My Daddy

My Daddy was my heart. He was the kindest, gentlest person on earth. Everyone loved him dearly.
He had congestive heart failure. He left this world on January 31, 2010. I cannot get over the loss. I nursed him for a week. My Mom and I were with him when he took his last breath, on either side of him, holding his hand. He died at home.
I cannot get past the fact that he is gone. I am in a constant fog. I go about my daily job robotically. I work in the healthcare field and it is becoming difficult to put on a happy face everyday when you have a crushing feeling on your chest. I miss him so very much. I feel him around me everyday and it makes me even sadder because I cannot kiss his little face and embrace him. I know it will get better someday but I cannot cope with this heavy heart.
