wish you had been here

This is a layout about my grandfather (dzaidek), growing up he was kept out of our lives by his 2nd wife. He was the first in a slew of relatives that I never got to say goodbye to, he passed away when I was a few months pregnant with Connor. Not having him in my life growing up pains me till this day. I have made such a point in making sure Connor is around my parents as much as possible because of what I was lacking growing up- even when I'm not liking them so much lol.

reads:
One day, I hope to understand what great
wrong I must have committed to deprive me
of having my dzaidek in my life growing up.
This picture represents one of the only memories
I have of you. It was the one and only time
you came up to visit us. I remember so clearly
walking down the street holding your hand,
kicking up the leaves that covered the sidewalks.
You passed away nearly four years ago. I loved
you with everything in my soul. I know that
you loved me too, and if you could have, you would
have been by my side watching me grow up to
become the woman I am today. Growing up I couldn’t
understand why you weren’t in my life. As an adult
all is becoming clear, but it doesn’t ease my pain.
The more I understand, the deeper the agony seeps.
What Was ripped away from me in having you in my
Life, will never be regained.

What a beautiful page and touching journaling. In my life, it was my biological father who was kept out of my life by his 2nd wife...so I understand a lot of where you're coming from. {{{hugs}}}
 
This is so moving Lauren... family dynamics can really suck, and so often it's the innocent ones who get hurt... Very touching :)
