Twenty Years by Liz remembering dad’s early departure 10/2013

Never thought 
this day

would arrive.

I'd actually survive?

It’s, twenty years

Later, 

I'm alive?

Always imagined 
this day.

Sneaking up

quickly!

Emotions, 

raw.

Sadness, 

ever present.

But, twenty years

Later, 

I'm alive?!

Never fathomed

Me?

Full and overflowing?

Joy-

full?

Peace-

full?

Somehow, twenty years

Later, 

I'm alive.

This day,

rarely dreamed.

Thought

I'd die with you.

Life 

STOPPED.

with you.

But, slowly,

I,

chose, 

to,
live.

Look! Twenty years,

Later!

I'm alive!
