I cleaned out my email inbox, and now all I have is a long list of old emails from my father. I can’t delete or move them so now my inbox makes me sad.

My father passed away in 2020 and I still can’t delete his number from my cell phone. One sort of silly thing helped….He loved fruit trees. So I mentally dedicated the cherry tree in my backyard to him. No real reason truly. My husband and I planted it well before he passed and he never even saw it. But I decided that this tree was dedicated to him. (We are going to put a little plaque by it eventually.) Now when I am near it, it brings me a sense if his presence. I even talk to it a little. And who knows? Maybe his spirit pops by for a visit now that he knows it’s “his”.
But losing a parent is very very hard. It will always hurt. But is a tender hurt filled with sweet memories too.

That’s beautiful.
I’m writing a book my father would have wanted me to write more than anything. Why, why didn’t I think of it earlier? The sense of guilt is overwhelming.
