I've come to think you're closer than the empty room makes it feel.

Not gone. Just quiet. Right where I can't quite reach you, but never far.

I thought I was doing better.

Then a memory came out of nowhere, the way they always do, and it knocked the wind straight out of me again.

I don't think that part ever really stops.

The cat still watches the window with me.

I don't think either of us is looking for anything anymore. We just sit there while the rain comes down, and I remember.

You never asked for anything.

You just sat there beside me, every evening, watching the same sky, asking nothing in return but a hand on your head.

What do you still catch yourself reaching for?

I've read this a dozen times now, and it still gets me in the same place.

Forget the hard days. Remember the good ones. Come find me at sunset, when the sky looks the way it did the last time I saw you.

That's the part I hold onto.

The house isn't loud anymore.

It's just missing the one sound that used to fill every room — your voice, saying my name like it was nothing, like it would always be there.

He was still holding my hand in that picture.

Some nights I close my eyes and hope you'll walk into the dream, just for a minute, just so I can see your face again.

I miss you.

Nothing prepares you for this kind of loss.

Not the flowers people bring, not the quiet way they lower their voices, not any of it.

Some griefs don't have a bottom. This is one of them.

People think losing someone happens once.

It doesn't. It happens every morning I wake up and remember, every sunset I watch alone, every ordinary day for the rest of my life.

Over and over, in a place this beautiful, without you.

Dad, I still sit on that bench sometimes.

I don't know why it helps. Maybe because it's the one place that hasn't changed since you were here.

Thank you for being my father. I don't say it enough, and now I can't say it at all.
