If you are easily trigged by this, please scroll on.* “Daddy. It’s been 8 years since you left. That’s 2,920 days and more since I held your hand, hugged you and you held me in your arms. That’s 70,080 hours since I heard your voice, I told you I loved you and you told me you loved me with all your heart and soul back. That’s 420,4800 minutes I’ve been here without you, since I’ve heard your beautiful laugh and have been able to ask you all of the things a daughter needs to ask her daddy. I miss the way you smell, the way you laughed and laughed at me. I miss the way we would both watch our same favourite movie over and over again and it never got old. I miss the way you always made me felt safe and supported. Most of all I just miss the way you loved me just as much as I loved you. It’s been 8 years and while time helps things become easier to bear, it will never truly take the pain away and the massive hole you have left behind. Dad, I take so much comfort knowing you’re always around and I know you’re always proud. I love you more as time moves on and you stand still in this world with me. I hold on to all of the memories of you in my heart forever. I love you daddy bear x” My dads story always reminds me of how important it is to speak to someone about life.. no matter who is trying to hurt you, or how hard things may seem - because YOU matter. I myself been through the nights that seem like they will never end, I’ve cried more tears than I thought I was capable of after such a loss and felt things I never want to feel again but I got support from the right people around me and found a Counsellor that could help me. Remember not matter what you’re going through, you are LOVED, you are WORTH fighting for and you BELONG here x if you are feeling lost or alone reach out to family/friends or visit https://www.ruok.org.au/findhelp 🤍」4月24日 14時41分
