62

Had he been alive, that's how old he would be today.

It's been a time of great excitement but also some strife for my family. My brother is getting engaged and hopefully married soon. In all this time, we have thought of my father exactly not at all. How can someone who should be so important not be a factor at all in the most important event of his son's life? 

It's just all terribly sad. 

I don't think I miss him very much; just the idea of him. There are all these people in my life now that he never met. If I ever meet someone that I choose to marry, he will never meet that person. He will never know the girl his son has decided to spend the rest of his life with. 

Gone and maybe almost forgotten. But not quite. Not yet.
