My Father....Loyal D. Hastings

It is difficult to even type these words out...
I've gone back and forth... what to say... how to say it...
My father passed away on April 21st....
The news came as such a shock....
In many ways... I can't believe it still....
I have learned about sorrow first hand...
He was such a good, good father...
I really do miss him... I ache to talk to him again...
to tell him thank you... to tell him I love him.
