My father died on February 16th, 1996. This past February 16th was the first one since then that came and went without me remembering. I only remembered it just now, when I spotted the date on my calendar. I also just realized that I no longer think of him every day, a thought that startles and saddens me.I miss my dad. I miss how much he loved me, I miss feeling safe in the world because he was in it.

I'm sorry for your loss, Katie. You have been blessed to have such a wonderful man on your life.
I have spent the last couple of weeks writing my life down. Everytime I REALLY think of my grandfather, I cry. I loved him so much....he's been gone over 30 years.
I relate to this. Though the details and dates have blurred over time, I carry the twinkle in his eyem and the feeling of being lifted high and hugged tight. I miss my Dad too.

Love that picture of you and your dad. I see you still!
I remember that day so well. (David left a message on my work phone.) Your dad was such a light to me, even in the brief time I knew him. He may be gone, but the light still shines.
