My father’s ashes are beside me. Once
Every day was Father’s Day,
Now every day he’s absent,
But every day he’s here.
Love never dies.
Devotion binds fond memories;
so long as we remember him,
it’s always Father’s Day.

  My dad has been gone for 4 Father’s Days now.
  Mom just passed away earlier this month, a few weeks past Mother’s Day.
  
  How strange and vacant can be a world…
