A month ago today, Dad died.

Somehow that feels both recent and far away, and I’m trying not to let the passing days make him feel further from me.

This photo was taken in 2022, just south of Grayling, Michigan. I was driving him to Virginia so he could live with us. The road stretched out ahead of us, and we had no idea what the next years would hold. But we were happy to be on the journey together.

A few days before that trip, he left me a voicemail telling me he loved me and was happy I was coming for him. I still have that message. It’s my most precious treasure.

Lately, when memories hit, my chest tightens and I sigh to let the pressure out. Sometimes I cry anyway. And that’s good.

I’m especially grateful for the people who have understood where I’m at without me having to explain it, and who have quietly offered their support.

One month. Still figuring out how to carry this.

As this country sails closer and closer toward third world dictatorship status, I’m here on deck remembering dad; this is one of those Spike Jones bits I remember him laughing so hard when I was a kid and this was like 30 years after he first heard it on the radio after it was first released in the 1940s.

"You Were Bloody Marvellous": Remembering Dad

https://davewinter.blog/you-were-bloody-marvellous-remembering-dad

"A father's love still travels on after he's gone. A treasure hidden in the hearts of his children."

It's been 25 years since my father passed away, and not a day goes by that I don’t miss him deeply. Yesterday, he would have turned 85 years old. His love and wisdom continue to be a precious treasure in my heart, guiding and inspiring me every day.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers who leave an everlasting legacy within us. ❤️

Remembering Dad today....I always remember his game night with Mom and some friends playing Room or Make-a-million. They would play late into the night in a house filled with laughter.
