4 Months

17 Weeks

121 Days

2,904 Hours

174,240 Minutes

10,454,400 Seconds

Since you left and 

Went home to God

The longer you are gone

The deeper the ache

In my heart

Some days

It hurts to breathe 

Time doesn't heal

All wounds

It often makes them

Worse

At least it's that way

For me

I fight every day

To get up

Keep going

No matter the pain

I feel

I keep watching

For signs 

That you are near

That you hear

When I cry

Yet I find none

If I could only see

I know you're there

I just have to be quiet

And watch

4 months feels

Like a lifetime away

I long for you

I miss you so

Yet I know

You're only 

A breath away

So close 

But alas

So far

I know I must

Be still

Trust God

Pray

And hold on

To the hope 

That we will

Meet again

Some day

On God's 

Celestial shore

I love you Daddy,

Andi ❤️
