Hello Babette,
Thank you for your comments. I'm sorry I took a while to respond. I'm still trying to catch up with myself!
The relationship between my Daddy and I was and continues to be very special. We still connect and I believe it was he who invited me to write this poem, as a message to help others in their sorrow.
I wrote the poem in a conversational way because that is what happened. We had that conversation at the time of his passing. It was not, of course, in poetic form.
I felt inspired to recount the moment, as a help to others, and poetic form seemed to be a stronger and prettier way of presenting the message.
Angel cuddles,
Sarah
