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.

Amen how are you
I’m so sorry for your loss. You are right, love lives on!
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…
I am so sorry. Please do take care. We are always with you.
Sweet and poignant.
