Print them out. Store them in a nice box until you have time to bind them into a book for your shelf.
I did this for my father.

It’s a great idea but it would be a book the length of an encyclopedia. We emailed constantly and talked for hours every day.
I miss him enormously.

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.

It’s easier said than done but try to think of this as time you are spending with your father. He is with you and smiling with every sentence you write.
