So sorry Shawn. Hope you’re doing OK. Reading this was so powerful- it had a childlike naivety about it, perfect to capture the bond between father and daughter. “I was there, but you were gone”. May he forever be in your heart.
Sending big hugs. I am so sorry for your loss, Shawn, and I’m hoping that you’ll have everything you need–including lots of support from your circle of friends and family–so that you may move through this time as best you can. ❤
Tough times, my dad has been gone a while now, but the value of what he was to me has never diminished, and perhaps has somehow even grown. Wishing you well in your dark hour. 🕐
My heart goes out to you with blessings and prayers. I lost my mother 7/25/02. It’s never easy when a piece of you move on while the whole remains behind.
