Ten Years

Ten years ago, we lost you. Ten years ago, everything changed.

Ten years filled with memories, without you. Ten years filled with changes to families and relationships and love, without you.

Ten years of remembering you and loving you and honoring you. Ten years to be reminded life is short and beautiful and unkind and unfair and joyful.

Ten years of missing you, Dad, is a lifetime and a moment at once, but it's true every day.
