Dear Dad,
Another year has turned since you passed. I write to you again. Phil Lesh and Robert Hunter wrote "Box of Rain" as Phil's Dad lie dying in a hospital bed. Phil says when it is requested, it is often dedicated to those who are sick, dying or already passed on. I play this song and think of you but no more than I do any other day. You are so close to me. I am so close to you.
Love,
Helen

Helen, your dad will always be with you ...
Lost my daddy too, when I think of him I'm like you. Can't describe it. All I can say is; I'm with you.
(((((((((helen)))))))))
Nice post, touching.
I just lost my Dad on Feb 1st this year. I quit my job back in October in order to be with him and take him to all of the Doctors appts. He died way too soon. I
am grateful that I had the time with him. The heavens were smiling on me then.
Just wondering what stage of grief you are in after a year? It's hard for friends of mine b/c they can't relate.
Nice blog :)
I lost my dad, too. It's true that they are always with us but the flesh sees them so faintly it's hard to hold that thought some times.
Hugs and ty for stopping by my blog.
