So sorry to hear it, my friend. Tuesday will be the one year anniversary of my dad passing too, so I can understand what you're going through. If you need someone to talk to, PM me.
God bless you and your family in this horrible time.
Cherish those behaviors and traits he gave you. You'll be surprised in the months and years ahead when you do something, and you'll go... dad used to do it this way, and you'll feel that connection to him.
Hey! NJ Hold onto the GREAT memories that you shared with him! The Lord is close to those that are brokenhearted and gives courage and strength to help us keep going.
