I am absolutely leaving this behind:

A FINAL GOODBYE TO MY FATHER, (EUYLESS EDWIN MILLER, SR.)

I feel sorry for you.

You were a miserable man.

You spent your life trying to hurt people smaller and weaker than you,

Because it made you feel better about yourself.

You didn't know love. You were a sad man, with a heart full of hate,

And I feel sorry for you.

I am not afraid of you anymore.

Maybe that shouldn't matter because you are dead to me,

But it matters to me.

I'm better than you. I'm stronger than you.

I'm happier than you.

And I know love, the kind of love you never had or deserved.

I'm not going to let you take anything away from me again.

I'm glad you are dead.

I forgive you for all the mean and evil things you did.

It's only by the grace of God that I can say that.

My faith sustains me.

Even though I share your name, I am nothing like you.

You are gone from my life, and now you are gone from my memory.

(EUYLESS EDWIN MILLER, JR.)
