a great sadness

a great sadness fills my heart.

a sadness that is persistent and unending.

it is so strong that i want to cry.

the great feeling of sadness i have is missing my father.

i wish i had gotten to meet him.

it makes me sad that his birthday is in one day and i can't go to cataract to visit his grave.

i really miss him.
