Dear Dad,
On second thought, Dad...I try to look at fireworks and think of happy things, but I was lying to myself. I would imagine the fireworks might be hard to watch, though, considering all the explosions in the sky. It's a horrible reminder of when you ascended into the heavens. What was I thinking of?
When everyone here will be celebrating Independence Day, I will be sitting in my own little corner of the room, covering my ears to drown out the noise of the fireworks, and closing my eyes, as so not to relive that day you simply chose to have disappeared into the sky. But, even with my eyes closed, I envision you, Congressman Nathan Petrelli, my dad.
People say life goes on. But, how do I go on, when a part of me is no longer here.
Love,
Your Claire
