Pops

Last week I realised how much I love you. I always knew I loved you more than anyone else in my life. But it hit me. You’re unwell, you don’t have much time left. And I’m on the other side of the world, unable to get home to see you, to say goodbye. I told you I love you on FaceTime, while you lay asleep in your bed. While you can’t speak, I know you heard me, I saw your eyelids flicker so slightly. I can’t get back to hold your hand, to kiss your cheek, but know this Pop, while I cry these tears for you, while I miss you more than anything, I will cherish the memories we shared, and will love you until the day I die.
