I miss my Dad, Sigh.
Sadly my Dad passed away on November 3rd. I haven’t had much time to do anything but work as the expense of the trip from Omaha, NE to Tazewell, VA has tapped into my reserves. I hope to post something new and less depressing in the next few weeks. Sorry for the downer. :’-(

Sympathies. My stepdad died a few months ago, so I very much know how distracting it can be.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad going on 23 years now. I’m actually older now than he was when he died. My empty space in my heart that dad filled has never disappeared, but my grief did finally end. At first I know it seems that the grief will never end. But it does finally end– how long, i can’t tell you that. What i can tell you is that life will bring you other joys that will offset your loss. A wife and 2 children were the joys that offset my loss. My children have also given me an insight to what my dad felt toward me– I mean my love for them has. As I age, I’m also reminded that someday, my children will grieve for me as I did for dad. With maturity, I can embrace that thought. My grandchildren now are a comfort that my children’s grief for me will be offset with joy–the joy that a child brings a parent.
