I just want to hug you one more time, Dad. Not to say goodbye, not to cry, not even to speak — just to feel you there, to feel that warmth I once took for granted. Your hugs were my shelter, my safety, my peace. And now, the world feels colder without them. I close my eyes and sometimes, for a brief second, I imagine you're still here. That if I turned around fast enough, you'd be standing there with your arms open. But I always open my eyes to the same silence. I miss you more than words can explain, and if I could have just one more moment with you, I’d spend it in your arms — holding on, and never letting go.
