Oh Farah! This is so beautiful! For a daughter the grief of losing a father is ever present. I’ve carried it for over 22 years. For me it’s music, esp certain songs, that help me hold him close from time to time. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hugs Mukta. They never go away, do they. I am glad music helps you hold him close. Tell me about those songs. And the bonus was meeting you unexpectedly.

Farah, how lovely to read about your father. It has been almost 8 years since my father passed and just last week I was looking for a place to buy cooking twine so I could make his roast masala chicken. 🩷 maybe one day, i’ll try your dad’s recipe too

My father passed away around the same time as yours. It is indeed a strange sensation sometimes when I think of him and then realize he is no longer there. Beautiful story here, big hugs!

Big hugs and thanks for letting me know. Our fathers continue to show us the way.
