10 years today since I lost my dad, and somehow it still feels unreal.
A whole decade has passed, yet there are moments where it still feels like yesterday. They say time heals, but I’ve learned that grief doesn’t really disappear ❤️❤️you just learn how to carry it differently. Some days are easier, some days are heavier, but the love never fades.
There are so many moments in my life I wish you were here for. So many conversations I wish we could have had. I wish you could see the woman I’ve become, the battles I’ve fought, the dreams I’m chasing, and the life I’m building. I hope somewhere, somehow, you’re watching over me and smiling proudly.
Losing a father changes you forever. It leaves a space nothing else can truly fill. But even in your absence, your love, your lessons, and your memory continue to guide me through life.
Today, I’m not just remembering the pain of losing you, I’m remembering your voice, your presence, your strength, your love, and all the beautiful memories that still live in my heart.
Thank you for being my father.
Thank you for loving me while you were here.
And thank you for the parts of you that still live within me.
10 years later and I still miss you deeply.
Forever loved. Forever remembered.
I ❤️ U
