The Aisle

I don’t know if you ever had hopes of walking me down the aisle, I never really thought about it before.  I never knew what you really thought as my fiance and I were on our way to get married.  You wished us well, and had him promise you, to take care of me always.  I never thought about what your dreams were for me.  I was a selfish kid, like all the rest and I was madly in love, as much as you can be at that age, when we drove off to say our I do’s.   We thought we were saving everyone from alot of hassle and family connections that probably would have started another war.  I never once considered maybe you would have wanted to put my arm in yours and look me in the eye and wish me well.  Tell me you love me and send me on my way to happy life with a man/boy I wanted to be with.  I am hoping in your comfy room of heaven you are reading this and knowing I am truly sorry for what you may have missed because of my youthful desires and inconsiderations.  So in my mind we have walked down that aisle together arm in arm and you did wish me well and I said I love you dad and thank you.  And even though this picturebook of marriage didn’t last he has fulfilled his promise to you.   I think you knew that.  ……..Bustersdaughter…………
