Creative Writing: Eulogy For Father

Decent Essays
Till yesterday, I was under the impression that our Dad is alive but somewhere far away. But... being in the fifth year, I accepted the real fact with heavy heart. It is really painful. When he was alive, I used to fight and argue with him, not listening to him. How irony is it that, when he is not here, I’m trying to live exactly how you told me to.
Appa, death doesn’t change a thing… because you’ve always been the friend and guide in my life. I miss you.

    “You said that your father died before you learned to read. I am guessing that you were still a child when he died. Did you go to live with relatives after he died?” “Papa died in the spring of 1944, and I reckon if he hadn’t had me to take care of, he would’ve had to go fight in the war… No, after my papa died, I went to live in the poorhouse or orphanage as they liked to call it.…

    I remember seeing the reflection of my room through the giant mirror on our hallway wall. My mother was in the bathroom, she was preparing for a night out - she had on the best pair of black leather ankle boots -- yet I nagged her to talk about my dad. I was seven years old when my mom told me the story about death of my father; although, I’ve never gotten the full details until I was sixteen years old. Before that age, I usually created my own scenarios and scenes on how the tragedy happened. After those moments I’d often find myself very unhappy, I would focus my thoughts on a person I care dearly for but know nothing about.…

    Hi there, my name’s Bruce. I can be a little reserved when it comes to new relationships, so when you come into meet with don’t be surprised if I start barking and possibly even nip at you through my kennel (so please don’t not stick fingers in my cage). Though please don’t let that discourage you from meeting with me, go up front and ask one of the staff members to help get me out, because once you get to know the real me you won’t regret it. It’s more than likely going to take you a few times of meeting with me before I fully warm up to you. If you are scared or intimidated of large dogs our relationship will unfortunately not work.…

    “This is what I most admire about Father: no matter how bad things might get, he eventually will find the grace to compose himself. Some people find him overly stern and frightening, but that is only because he was gifted with such keen judgment and purity of heart. He has been singled out for a life of trail, as Jesus was. Being always the first to spot flaws and transgressions, it falls upon Father to deliver penance. Yet he is always ready to acknowledge the potential salvation that resides in a sinner’s heart.…

    The morning of Saturday November 1st, 2014, I woke up to three hundred text messages and twitter notifications all notifying me that my friend, Dominik Pettey, was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver the previous night. No pain had ever felt so significant, it was crippling, but then instead of pain, I was numbed by the inability to grasp that my friend someone who I just had seen the night before, was gone. I ran the words “Dom is dead” through my head on a loop but could not bring myself to accept it. That week, although I was still here, facing such a tragedy, everything on earth seemed so insignificant, going to class, homework, midterms, everything. I woke up every morning wishing it was just in a bad dream and that noise would never cease because that is when it hit me the most, silence, when I didn't hear Dom’s infectious laugh or when he wasn't telling me that, “I am Kiera Wainer and deserve the best God can give”, which he used to say anytime I was upset, the first time he said those words was the second worst day of my entire life, it was the day my dad left for his new family.…

    It’s taken me a while to get to where I am today, and I must thank you for most of it. A Stepdad was never a thing I thought I’d have – I had become so used to the idea of one Dad and one Mom, that any other relationship seemed inconceivable. As a eight -year-old, it didn’t really feel like I had a say in anything, including you – which, let’s face it, I didn’t. I must have thought you coming into our lives would weaken the close bond I’d formed with my Mom, and I didn’t want to lose that.…

Yet, I still wonder what my life would be like if I could go back and change one thing.…

    Losing my father at a young age did not only take a toll on me, but my 3 siblings as well. Death can sometimes break a family apart, but for mine it did the opposite. A person will not understand how tough losing a parent is until it is experienced. Then again, no one knows the joy of gaining a parent either. I am strong because I have lost, and I am successful because I have gained.…
