From my public remembrance collection.
A year has passed, Dad, and grief still finds its way into my days. I once imagined that, by now, the tears would have stopped. Instead, I have learned how to conceal them, while the longing for your presence remains.
This anniversary holds both the pain of losing you and the life we shared. I remember your leaving as my saddest moment, and I keep praying that you rest in God’s embrace as we find our way through life here.
