7 Months

November 24th marked 7 months since I have seen him...touched him...heard his voice...told him I loved him. Every day is a new day with different challenges. I am not sad anymore, just grateful to have had such a wonderful father on this earth. I am so lucky to have so many great memories. I miss you, Dad!

“Death lays its heavy hand upon those dear to us and at times leaves us baffled and wondering. In certain situations, as in great suffering and illness, death comes as an angel of mercy. But for the most part, we think of it as the enemy of human happiness. The darkness of death can ever be dispelled by the light of revealed truth. ‘I am the resurrection, and the life,’ spoke the Master. ‘He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.’ [John 11:25–26]” - Thomas S. Monson, Liahona, Jan 2002
