Hurt

UPDATE: As promised, here is the blog I posted before Christmas that I posted as private. The gifts have been dispersed so the secret is no longer.

I am working on a project for my family for Christmas. Actually, I have my boss working on a project. He got this machine that plugs into his computer and you can transfer tapes to a file on your computer and then burn it on to a cd. Long ago my Mema and Papa recorded a tape. I haven't heard it in so long. I haven't heard them sing in so long. I brought the tape to work today so Dennis could put it on a cd for me and then I'm gonna design a new cover and give everyone that for Christmas. I have been so excited about it. I'm sitting in my office trying to do some work and all of a sudden I hear my Papa singing. It hit me like someone kicked me in the stomache. Sometimes that devastating ache of sadness is too much when it hits so suddenly. I miss him so much words could never describe. Ever. I can hardly type this through the tears. Just one more day, that's what I want for Christmas. Just one more day with my Papa.
