My dad passed away a year ago today.

I posted about him here and here.
There hasn’t been a single day in the past year that I haven’t wanted to talk with him.
He is the best man I have ever known, or ever will know. If you knew him, you would say the same. I am proud to be his son.
Now has come the departing time
And here you must no longer stay;
But there is no comrade of thine
That will desire you were away.Of all good times that e’er were shared
You leave us happy memory;
And for all the friendships that e’er you had
They fondly will remember thee.I raise to thee the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call,
“Good night, an’ joy be to you all.”

It has been less than five months for me, I miss my dad so much. He was a man who no one “desired away” My mom just got back from a trip to California and is already planning a couple more, San Antonio and Canada. I hope she can build a life to be going on with.
I wondered about that, Tamyra. I’m very sorry for your loss. It sucks, there’s no other way to put it.
you know it
I’m just grateful i didn’t have to deal with losing both my folks like one of my co-workers did this fall.
