WOw Sara,
This all sounds like you knew and loved your Dad really well. I can tell by reading this that you also felt his love in return. Now, that’s what it’s all about..to have known and loved him and to have felt loved in return. That’s the best those of us who’ve lost loved ones can have. I’m sad for you that you’re missing him but I’m so very glad that you have fond memories and a strong foundation from having had him as your earthly father.
As another daughter who lost her father at an early age, I too know the void it leaves and the questions left unanswered by it. For this reason, I wonder if , in some strange “twist”of it all, we the daughters without fathers aren’t really blessed by it…in that we now are left to yearn for the only other Father we have. Yep, I think it forces us to seek Him even more than if we had not experienced the pain you so lovingly described here. I consider myself fortunate to have read your thoughts today.
Thanks for being such an authentic one.
I love you for it. :-}
