Lost my dad in january 2020
1. sometimes it doesn't feel real after almost 5 years
2. time, good memories and the knowledge that he meant a lot to me and that I learned a lot from him

I was really lucky to have him. There’s so many memories and wisdom he passed on. He did a lot for me.
I just wish it didn’t feel like this
I was at a completely different stage of my life in 2020 than I am today and i would have liked to have given him more back in recent years, especially because he would have become a granddad next year.
unfortunately, this "uneasy" feeling in my stomach has stayed with me to this day
Well I guess your loss was still pretty recent. So maybe your uneasy feeling will go away too? With more time 🙏
5 years does not feel long yet 🫂💜 but i don't think it's a bad thing that it's like that, it's just part of it and you just have to actively enjoy the moments with your loved ones
Yeah you’re absolutely right. In a way, I feel like this is already making me a better person. More grateful and loving of the people around me.
