Daniel Bernard Roumain's Letter
Dear Dad,
I wish I realized how hard it is to be a Dad. I was always your son and didn’t really have the perspective then that I do now.
The perspective of taking care of everyone else first, and feeling really good about that. The perspective of working hard to keep everyone and everything together, and only wanting “peace and quiet” as a reward. The perspective of always looking ahead when you know the best things are happening beside or even behind you. And the perspective that when you’re gone, you hope that they remember you as a good person and a great Dad.
You were a great Dad.
There’s so much going on in the world and I know you know things I don’t know. I feel you’re at peace and waiting to greet us all into that new dimension. I just wish we could talk the way we used to; eat together the way we used to; laugh at just about everything the way we used to; just being together that way I knew would never last.
I wasn’t always a good son and I am sorry about that.
Danny
