a year is not enough time Dave..
merely one revolution... Takes longer
than that... to re- feel Joy
remember the laughter moments
and it makes you feel better

Time for me to catch a native brook trout. I dreamt of him last night too. A group of us were walking through a boat yard. He loved boat yards. Wooden boats. Old fishing boats.

The dreams will evolve over time, as will the feelings, and the loss. It never leaves, but it does evolve. My sister posted a photo of my dad on facebook, it gets me today.

Things will change, evolve. Even in time, every now and then you will get one that shakes your core.

My father has been gone almost 9 years, I still tear up on a particular Mike & The Mechanics song on the radio.

It's all so heavy. Easier to talk about snap swivels and the true holding power of pyramid sinkers. My mother, I feel for her. I see her nearly every day. It's good my brother and his family live close as well. My mom and dad met in high school. They never dated anyone else. If I feel this way about him being gone what must she feel? Gives me a stomach ache. 50 years together. There then gone.
