Hi Julianne,

I'm sorry you lost your dad so young. It is a difficult void to fill. I lost my father when I was ten and it was so traumatic for me, I buried the memories of him way down in my toes and have yet to release them.

It's weird remembering things we did together and places we went, but not him. He is always in the background of those memories, but I can't seem to "see" him. It's like (to borrow a line from the Rolling Stones) he's standing in the shadows.

I hope you can find some peace with it.
