daddy
Today marks the 18th year since my dad passed away, he would have turned 71 on the 26th. In a recent episode of one of my favorite shows, Grey’s Anatomy, George’s father dies and there was this scene that went like this :
Cristina: There’s a club, a Dead Dads club and you can’t be in it until you’re in it. Well, you can try and understand. You can sympathize but until you feel that loss… My dad died when I was nine. George, I’m really sorry you had to join the club.
George: I… I don’t know how to… exist in a world where my dad doesn’t.
Cristina: Yeah… that never really changes.
I totally get the dialogue because you really struggle at the start but sooner or later you do learn to exist in a world without your dad. It’s just that for me it’s a different world. Every so often you are reminded that it is, on special occasions (like your debut, your wedding, the birth of your child), a scene on a television show, seeing my father-in-law play with E, and a lot of other things. Now I’m not taking anything away from my mom who’s great and really did her best to not let us feel our loss (imagine raising three kids on her own) but I think she would also agree with me on this. And today is one of those days.
I miss you daddy! I love you! – your princess.
