One Year

It is one year today that Dad passed away.  My thoughts have been with him pretty much all day today.  It is amazing how quickly one year can go and yet drag at the same time.

I miss my Dad and all the comments that really used to piss me off big time.

I miss his laugh.

I miss the way he interacted with the boys and how much they loved to talk with him.

I miss his viewpoint, that a lot of the time I didn't agree with.

I miss how the conversation never died with Dad, he always had something to talk about.

I miss the cuddles we used to share when we arrived and left after a visit.

1 - Sorry to hear about your dad. I thought you wrote some lovely words about him.
My Dad lives in your neck of the woods which is about 6 hours from us and I miss him but can't imagine him not being there.
Hugs. (Comment this)

2 - So sorry, Lynda. Your musings made me think about my own Dad. He lives near us and he and Mum came for dinner tonight. He drives me mad sometimes - he talks and talks and argues about politics and religion and tells us what to do to look after our place (I'm 40! I know how to look after a house)it drives me batty. But - he's still with us and he does these things because he loves us and I need to remember that. Thanks for your rememberings. (Comment this)

3 - Lynda I love that you've got specific memories of your dad ... the ins and the outs of his character and personality. I'm thinking about my nana who's just died and what I miss most is that she's not here ... but I'm so glad I can recall times we've shared: afternoons working on crosswords and evenings talking on the phone .. just so I can have a glass of wine and not be 'drinking alone'. (Comment this)
