this year we said goodbye to my beloved Dad
life feels different now in much the same way that it did when I became a mother
life beginning
life ending
life continuing on. in so many ways the same.
but changed. because i've changed.
i was blessed to have a father who loved me beyond reason
and i don't just miss his presence in our lives
i miss the way he looked at me like no one else ever did or undoubtedly will
with a kind of un-earned and unreasonably adoring sort of love in his eyes.
love you, Dad
