Sorry, samjam. My dad's eighth anniversary is later this month, and it still hurts. Figure it always will.
But, it also brings smiles at the times we had, and the beautiful, inspiring, genuine person he was.
Hope you can find comfort and a few smiles today.
I'm sorry for your loss, as well. Very true, the pain will never go away, but I think we are both lucky to have such wonderful memories of our fathers.
Just have to take things day by day. I've been a little nauseous and shaky today, but happy it's the weekend and I have my day to reflect. So many good memories. My dad was a special person--yours seems so as well.

Ironically, every year I dig into what I sometimes call my handwritten stash - cards, letters, the like, amassed over years and ones I won't part with - and read the honest, pure, raw letter my dad wrote me on the exact date he would pass seven years later. It was about 9/11...his anger, trying to come to terms, find peace, based on his own history.

He eventually did.

That's a pretty amazing thing to have, wow.
I only have a few things handwritten from my dad, but they're all so special to me. He used to write so often when I was in college that I'd usually end up tossing most the letters after a little while when I was cleaning up. But I still have a few. Today I actually posted a letter my dad wrote to me on FB. It was for my birthday, only a year or two before he passed, and was just the nicest. Definitely hold that one close.

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Hedo, so sorry about the suicide. Sending loving thoughts to his family, you and your hubby, WH and anyone else struggling with the same dark thoughts. Sometimes the tunnel is curved and it's hard to see the light at the end, but it is there. What's on my mind right now is gratitude for this crazy yet beautiful life.

“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
So very sad.
I feel for his children, for his wife. For the pain of someone who could see no other way out.
I feel for my sweetheart, for his sadness and wondering what, if anything, he could have done.
Puts much in precious perspective.
last night i slept very little weaving awake and deep sleep to nice dreams but easily awoken and now i feel like a tired mess

I know the feeling of those dark hours where the reprieve of death calls to you.
