Time has flown and it all still feels like yesterday. . .
The wound has healed but it still hurts.
My heart aches over the loss of my Father. Almost twenty five years later, I still miss him as much now as I did then.
Today would have been his 73rd birthday.
And I didn't remember it. A status from my brother on Facebook honoring our father on his day had me in tears.
How could I forget?
And then I start thinking, that isn't the only thing I have forgotten.
I don't remember what his voice sounds like.
I can no longer remember the date that he married Mom.
I don't remember the sound of his laugh or any mannerisms that may have stood out to others.
The harder I try to remember the more I seem to forget.
My memories of him are like an old photograph, faded and worn.

Love you, Dad. You are loved and missed by many, many people.
Logging you in...

Your siblings and you need to talk about him, maybe they could pull out memories you think are lost. Maybe ask them to tell you of a specific memory that involed you and your father.

My brother doesn't say much. But he is one to keep his feelings inside.
Sigh.
This is something that will weigh heavily with me for the rest of my life.
