It has been a year since my father passed way. A year since I last heard him laugh. Saw his face light up with smile. Got to hold his hand in mine. I miss hearing him tell us about a show he watched on the History Channel. The way he was so fascinated and interested in learning everything he could about the world around him. I cannot tell you how many times I thought in the last year, "Oh, I wish I could tell Dad that."
So many memories I cherish. I miss the long conversations we would have on the way to school. How he always listened to me go on about whatever book I was reading. 😊 That man could not stand musicals but he let me watch any one I wanted to. Many times on repeat and he was right there commenting on them as I sang along. Thanks Dad!
There are so many moments where a single memory of him will give me a chuckle. But then others which bring me to tears. Some days are very hard. Grieving is a large mix of so many emotions which can affect you at any moment. Nothing prepares you for the feeling of losing someone so close to your heart. I miss him every day.
I'm beyond thankful for the time I was able to spend with him, but I cannot help wishing for more. We're always going to wish for even a couple more minutes with the ones we love who pass on. I'll always appreciate the memories we were able to share.
I'm thankful for my father and will continue trying to make him proud.
Love you to the moon, Daddy. I'm trying to keep the faith.
