‘No words, it feels like I’m dreaming’: Summer Warne’s full heartbreaking statement
There are no words. It feels like I’m sleeping, waiting for someone to wake me up and tell me that you’re all right. This can’t be real life. It can’t be that life is so cruel to the most beautiful people on this earth. There’s no way I’ll ever hear your small voice again telling me “everything will be fine” or how “proud” you are of me or just saying “good night” or “good morning S.J., see you in the morning” , I love you…”.
Moments before the world took you from me, we jammed to “Summer of ’69” and “I had the best time of my life.” Talking about how much you love this song and seeing your smile light up the whole room as we danced and couldn’t stop laughing at each other. God, you made me laugh, dad. I didn’t know that was the last time I saw you, dad.
I will do anything to hear that laugh again, anything to hear your voice, anything to hold you for once, anything to be with you again one last time. I wish that in your last moments before you go to heaven and before you take your last breath, I could tell you that everything will be fine and hold your hand and tell you how much I I love you and respect you. I took our time for granted, dad, and I would do anything to spend more time with you on this earth.
Our time has been stolen and I want you back to me. You may not be alive anymore, dad, but you will always live in my heart, I will cherish the memories until my time on this earth is up and I will be reunited with you again. I love you dad forever and will always be my Father wherever you are. Love your little girl SJ and I will continue to make you proud.
