I am a secretary at a legal aid office. My children and granddaughter now live nearby and I am enjoying my empty nest. Love watching my 5-year-old granddaughter growing and blossoming; I can relax a bit more and just enjoy her. I lost my mother, my father and my stepfather. This is my goodbye to my dad. Till we meet again.

And so the time has come to say farewell
I see you lying in that hospital bed
Eyes closed
Fighting for each breath
So very tired of fighting this battle
Your spirit trudging onward
Stubbornly refusing to give in to the pain and despair
Your loved ones gathered round your bed
Feeling your agony as if it were our own
Unable to relieve your suffering
Yet wanting to hold onto your spirit for just one more moment
Life without you is unimaginable
It is your last great battle to be fought
You who have fought so many battles in your life
Never laying down the banner
Even now
This is not the end
No, this is a beginning
The beginning of the next great adventure
In a world we cannot yet see or even fathom
And as each breath comes more and more slowly
That great heart finally stills
And your spirit bursts free
Of the cage that has imprisoned it for so very long
I see you in my mind’s eye
Riding through the woods
At breakneck speed
Through the trees
Rounding the rocks and bushes
The creek sparkling in the sun
As you flash by
That wild, joyous grin on your face
Wind flying through your hair
One last time
As you break free of this earth
And all of its limitations
And launch up through the trees
Into the blue, blue sky
Laughing, whirling,
Spiraling through the clouds
Now heading onward into the sun
Looking back with one last loving smile
Blazing a trail
For us to follow
One last time
Goodbye for now, Dad
See you soon
All my love,
Kate
