It Is So Sad

by Joe Cramer

It is so sad
when I am no longer
your Dad
and instead
I am just a ride
a couple of dollars
here or there,
a birthday present,
Christmas gifts
sometimes your friend
but never your confidant.
I miss you.

I'm sorry to hear that Joe. I mean, they all grow "away" and off to do their own things. But if you've been a "non-custodial" parent, it can really hurt when the bond thins. But sometimes, they drift back into the bond as adults. It's a new dimension to the relationship, but it can be very lovely. I hope this for you and Emily.
