Dad was dying. That I knew. Every night I would wish on a star. I would sit on my bed‚ looking out my window‚ and waiting for the star to make my wish come true. But I never found that star. I didn’t follow the rules and so my wish didn’t come true. Now I know it couldn’t have mattered anyway. I still remember the day my dad was diagnosed.

My Dad As I think about my childhood I remember many happy memories spending time with my family. My Dad has always been my role model.

Well‚ for me I’ve always wanted to grow up to be exactly like my father. But now that I’m grown up and have my own life‚ it seems like nothing has turned out like I thought it would. Growing

Mom says we will all be okay‚ that Daddy will be home soon‚ but there is something about the way she keeps on repeating it that makes me wonder if there is a secret that she is still not telling me. Dad and Mom both keep locking eyes and Dad periodically glances up into the rearview mirror to check if we are all still asleep.

He loved listening to music. He was an engineer. And saying “my Dad died when I was 11” rolls off of my tongue in a way that it never has before. It’s been nine years. Time has passed. Things have gotten easier. His death is no longer where my thoughts default when nothing else is distracting me. I don’t think about him every time someone mentions his or her father in conversation.
