Justice, how long has your Dad been gone, and how old were you? I would be upset to look at those photos and not be able to see him in any of them. It's sad that you aren't in the pictures either. Almost like you were there to spend time with your dad while he was still around, but to others it was just a social outing? Maybe the rest of your family are more light-hearted than you too, while you take things seriously. Not good or bad, just different ways of looking at the world. And if your Dad didn't look his best towards the end, they might have not wanted to take pictures of him then because of wanting to remember him the way he had been before. Or he might not have wanted his picture taken that way. Even if they had good intentions, it's sad that he isn't in the pictures.

I am sorry for your loss.
