Lots of hugs to you.

I still miss my dad, his smile, warmth and affection. I think we never forget our loved ones who are gone. In time as we learn to let go it changes from pain to joy, gratefulness and wishful thinking of how it would have been if he was still alive when we remember.

Thank for sharing. I'm thinking of my own "anniversary" coming up the end of May. Four years now, the thing I called "surviving the unthinkable." And it's interesting that every time we make room for grief, we also make room for joy. I suppose it's because we open wide to life...all of it...and we become larger, more spacious ourselves. Blessings.
