Father's Day 2014

[dewline]

So. Twelve Father's Days since my dad passed.

There's still the ache when I look at the particular greeting card section at the drugstore or Hallmark or Carlton's local franchise-renter's nearby locations.

It's duller...but it's there.

More on other topics later in the day...

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

("Remember", Christina Georgina Rossetti)

My thanks to neowolf2: Father's Day a few year's prior to dewline's for mine. Yeah, and to be able to show him some of the creations from the gifts passed along...
