🎂 Happy Birthday Dad
Today is my dad's birthday and he would have been 78 if he hadn't died 24 years ago. Here in 2025 I feel pretty removed from the immediate grief and loss of the that time. I still think about him regularly, but the pain and sadness of his last year are becoming more distant. Now I think about his passing more in terms of my own life. I'm nearly at the same age as he was when his life came to an end. I don't really have anything profound or further to say at the moment, but I did want to acknowledge that I was thinking about him and I miss him.
