My dad died in May 2009 and I've felt all of the emotions you write about.<br /><br />I love that your family pulls together to honor Paul, and that they got tattoos. I want to get a tattoo for my dad but I have to figure out what to get first.<br /><br />Take care, keep blogging!<br /><br />Another Jen, one "n"Jen S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16000628.post-33503487724376166382011-07-14T16:32:38.166-04:002011-07-14T16:32:38.166-04:00Jen, I loved the note.

I lost ...You took the words right out of my mouth. <br />I lost my dad at christmas time in 2007. It's the small things. Just laying in bed, and *BOOM* "You don't have a father anymore, he died." comes crashing into your brain, re-breaking your heart. <br />Or the time, shortly after he died, (about a month or so, I think) where I called his cell phone to tell him about something awesome that reminded me of this or that, and the phone ringing 3 times before I realized. Broke down into tears on that one. Still so fresh. <br />My now ex told me it would get better with time. He was right, it fades a little, the pain, and the random crashing of realization. It will get easier, but I will tell you that it never fully goes away. One day, one moment, it'll sneak up on you, another day you'll be fine. These days will be fewer, and further between, but no, never gone. <br /><br />Sorry for the ramble, this post just really hit home.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020127564304387119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16000628.post-54182320480601640232011-07-08T15:05:01.507-04:002011-07-08T15:05:01.507-04:00"Or you're just laying in bed, trying to ..."Or you're just laying in bed, trying to fall asleep and out of nowhere the truth about him being gone bubbles up and stabs you in the heart." Wow. So exactly what it's like. I lost my brother a few years ago, and it's always in the quiet moments that you feel it most heavily and unexpectedly.
