Daddy please Sleep.
You use to tell me how much you loved me as you put me to bed. You tucked me in, and told me that everything would be ok. You told me that I would never get hurt, you would always protect me and look over me.
I remember how you would play with me. You would get on the floor with me and play for hours. You would make me laugh at your silly faces.
When I was upset, you would wipe my tears, and hold me and tell me everything is ok.
I watched you from above, as you made a Birthday cake, on what would have been my third Birthday. I watched you as you sat in the chair by the table, alone. You were so upset, crying out to Mommy and me. I saw you staring at the cake you just made, full of tears, lost in thought. How I could since your rage you had, and how you could not understand, why Mommy and I, had to die.
He was drunk daddy. He just lost his wife of 34 years to cancer. He did not mean to hurt Mommy and me. He lives with that everyday now. It tortures him as he sits in jail, all he can do is think about how he destroyed a family, he couldn't handle the emotions that he had, he turned to beer to try and drown his sorrows away. I don't think he knew what he was doing as he got into his car after a whole night of drinking at the bar.
I watch you sit on the floor in my room, holding my toys as if it were me. I watch you cry and plea to God to bring me and Mommy back to you. I watch you curl up with Mommy's pillow, it smells like her. sometimes you close your eyes and just imagine and pretend that we are in the other room, but we are not. And that hurts you more.
Daddy, I am here, when you wake up in the middle of the night crying. You are not alone like you think you are. I am the one that is tucking you in. I am the one that is looking over you and making sure you are safe. I am the one that tell's you every night that I love you, From heaven. Daddy, Please Sleep. Mommy and I are here. We love you.

 |  Drunk driving is so sad and there really is no excuse, however this does give us another look into someone elses shoes. We really can't always know what is hurting someone on the inside, only God can. |

| |  AMEN, unless we are wearing the other persons shoes, we do not really know what they are thinking or feeling. We are all very good at putting on shows, instead of being honest. Someone will ask us how we are doing and we will say fine, even if we are tore up on the inside, this is partly due to everyone being rushed and partly, because so many people, ask us how we are doing, to be nice, but they could care less. When I ask it, I really want to know. |

| | I think this shows a true Christian, not saying this is the only sign, but just one of the many signs, because as Christians, we need to show we care. Even if I wasn't a Christian, I would still care, that is just the way I am, so it does come easy for me. God bless you all!!! |

| | Not saying this to get more people to read my blogs, but one of my blogs in particular, "The Story of Thomas - Better Grab Your Kleenexes," shows you how I look at life and how I treat people. |
