Love for My Dad

As the middle of August approaches, my heart begins to sink.

I can’t believe it has been almost three years since we lost you.

I think about our last family vacation together, and how much happiness and joy we all felt to be together. I think about how just the day before we lost you, we spoke on the phone about your favorite beach vacations. I could feel you smiling through the phone.

Dad, there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about you. I still have messages from you on my phone, that I sneak a listen to when I need to hear your voice. I miss talking to you, hearing you laugh, and I miss the daily phone calls we would share.

There are so many things I miss about you, but most of all, I miss just having you around. I remember the mornings we would wake up on The Outer Banks when I was a kid and just watch the ocean, calmly moving, while you would drink coffee and we’d enjoy the sunrise. I miss the sage advice you would give, even if you didn’t take it yourself. I miss the bear hugs you would give, to everyone.

I miss having a dad around, a grandfather for my children, and one of the best friends I’ve ever had. try 3

    Michelle- I lost my dad nine years ago while pregnant with my first child. There are still times I can hear his voice saying “I love you Baby.” It’s such a comfort to be able to remember. Thank you for sharing your memories.

    I’m so sorry for your loss, but I’m sure he is so proud of how far you’ve come! Just tell the kids plenty of stories about him and keep his memory moving through the generations.
