Six years ago today, this absolute gem of a human left this earth and entered the pearly gates. Though time, space, and distance have changed everything, I feel him with me always - in spirit, in memories, in the countless ways his love still surrounds me.

When I see the ocean, I´m reminded of his deep love for the sea.
When I see a garden in full bloom, I remember his joy in tending to every flower.
When I spot a misspelled word or come across one I don´t know, I smile, thinking of his sharp mind and his love of language.
But oh, how I miss him.

I miss our daily calls.
I miss the soft sound of his slippers shuffling from room to room.
I miss his humor - that perfect blend of wit and warmth.
I miss his uncanny ability to find the right words, no matter the situation.
I miss his steady presence - the comfort of simply knowing he was there.
And most of all, I ache for the moments he didn´t get to share with Emma - the grandfather he didn´t get to be for long enough, and the wisdom he surely would have passed on.

I miss my dad. Always.
