Two years ago today, my dad died. We were very much alike, and we were known to butt heads every now and then. He was not a perfect man, but he loved us and he was proud of us. He was a good dad, and I miss him. This has been a sad, overwhelming week. Two years sounds like both a long time and an inconceivably short time. I have sort of gotten used to our family as it is now, but sometimes it hits me hard, the things that he has already missed.
This is my favorite picture of the two of us. He had never worn a tuxedo before, and he was so happy for me. He was very sick at the end, but this is how I like to remember him.

Praying for you and your family today.
What a beautiful picture. You can see the love in your dad’s eyes as he’s looking at you. My father-in-law died four years ago and there are still times that Jim’s grief comes out of nowhere and takes him by surprise. I’ll be thinking of you today.
I’ve been a lurker for some time…
Am coming out of lurkmode to say that my dad will have passed away 4 years ago Sunday. He was also very sick at the end and as I am preparing to get married in a week and a half, the hardest thing for me is that he isn’t there to walk me down the aisle, and knowing that he never met my future husband. The pain has gotten better with time, but there are still times it hits me, just like it seems yours does.
I’ll be thinking of you today.
Thinking of you today. That is such a great picture.
Thanks for sharing~I’ll be keeping you in my prayers.
I have no idea what 2 years would feel like. I can’t even begin to process that. Thank you for sharing this photo. It is beautiful.
I can’t believe it has been two years. You are so strong, Kari.
