I still miss him, just like you'll always miss your dad. Hang on to your good memories of him, dear one. He'll always be special that way.  |

Travelinglady, thank you, and I am so very sorry for your own loss.
With little warning and little time is so much harder. My heart goes out to you.
I have many good memories of my father. My favorite memory is of a battle he had with a yard gopher, who was eating his flowers and plants. I found my dad one morning in his underwear at 6 am, with a sling shot, trying to stun the gopher and scare it away. At the time, it was pretty funny to witness. My dad tried all sorts of measures to get the gopher to leave... it was like the movie, Caddie Shack. lol.
