Today four years ago, Dad died. Jo is in Tasmania, so I have no ability to help her today. There are a lot of things that I am sad that my Dad never saw, but most of that centers around Levi. I am sad that they never really had a chance to get to know each other. They both think the same way and I think that Dad would have loved to watch and nurture that.
When I talked about coming back to Australia, I wanted to buy a house that I could renovate while I was living in it. Dad loved the idea and I think part of my joy in coming back was that he and I could spend weekends working on the house. He had certainly talked enough about that too, to think that he too wanted to have some of that time together. I miss that time, even though he died before I even returned. So Dad, I miss you and even though he doesn't really know, Levi misses you as well.
I remember when your dad died. It was a tragic loss & I'm sorry that you lost both the ability to talk & interact with him and the time that you could have had making special memories as you renovated a house. Mostly, I'm just sad for you that your dad is gone.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first picture I have seen of your dad & I must say, you look a lot like him! :)
