My Father

Where can I start? This is now my fourth rough draft. I have been trying to write something about my father and his life, but there are not enough words to describe him. Everytime I try to write something about him, nothing ever seems to describe him well enough. For those of you that knew my father, you know that he was the most amazing man. I could go on for hours on end with stories about him and his life. I could go on for hours talking about all the amazing things that he did for our family and friends. I could just go on talking about him forever.

I wish there was a way of putting in words how much my father will be missed. I have not gone a day without thinking about him or without crying. People say that life gets easier but never better. My family has been through so much pain and struggle through the last 2 years. Somedays I don't know if I will ever make it through this without him! I know that he will always be with me, I just want to hold his hand one more time.

In memory of Craig Melvin Mackey
He was a loving son, brother and uncle; the best father a girl could ever have and the perfect soul mate that my mother has ever known.
