One year ago tomorrow my father passed away. Seems a time for reflection.

What have I learned?

Everyone deals with grief in a different way...
Old wounds close slowly...
Memories fade quickly...
The "what ifs" are hard to face...
Death doesn't always changes things...
Ask questions now rather than later...
Take lots of pictures...save them all...
Write things down when they happen so the memory remains fresh...
Put the past in the past and bury it deep...

I love you Dad...wish you were here so I could tell you this in person.
