Mariah I share in my heart every beautiful word, every sadness and fear you have. My own dear and beloved father, gone now nearly twenty years, is still my guiding soul and light....

Thank you so much for this, for helping the grief and joy of memories never fade... xxx

Thank you for reading Susie! I'm sorry for your loss but agree that our loved ones are definitely a guiding light, I can feel my Dad's presence strongly, even though I wish he were here in spirit and body.

I wish I could tell you the whole long sad story Mariah, suffice to say he is the reason I live where I do, and the reason I stay in a country where the rest of my family are not. X

Thank you for sharing this. My father passed on December 24, 2022 so we're coming up on the one year mark, a day after the anniversary of your loss. Even in the moment, I felt both grief and gratitude and both are present today.

Oh Kathryn, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll be thinking of you and holding you in my heart. My Dad loved Christmas and I'm especially missing his festive spirit and enthusiasm for this season. When I miss him the most, I try to think of the qualities I'm missing and find a way to embody them, to live his legacy of love. It's so hard. Sending you a big hug. 💞
