VI. "I miss missing you."

13 March 2015, Friday @ 10:55

It's approaching the 13th anniversary of my father's death, as well as what would have been his 64th birthday.

I miss him daily and when I'm going through a rough time, I miss him even more because I know he would have done his best to get me through whatever it was that was giving me problems.

But I don't miss him with the same intensity anymore. It's hard to admit that but I miss him with less pain and more fondness. Not that having a dead father is anything to be fond about; don't get me wrong. I just remember the happier time more now and remember him with more love and sadness.

Everyone's favourite cliche to use about death is "time heals all wounds." Yes, a wound does heal over time but there is a scar that remains behind and it will always remind you about what left the scar. It's all dependent on you how you remember it.
