I realized this morning that I completely missed the fact that Friday was the anniversary of my father's death. It's not like it was a big milestone - 16 years, not one of those multiples of 5 that usually grab your attention more. But it did mark the fact that I've now lived longer without my father than I did with him. That milestone passed a few years back for my brother, and now it is the same for me. I guess I don't have anything deep or introspective to say about it other than it sucks. Although last year I remember being almost a bit angry that on the 15 year anniversary of his death, no one on Facebook said anything or made any tributes or anything like that. I can't say that I expected them to, but at the same time I felt like he impacted so many people that somebody would remember. Or maybe they did remember but didn't feel compelled to write something. And here I am a year later completely missing it. I guess it's just a reminder that, in time, everything fades. Obviously I haven't completely forgotten about him or anything like that, but with each passing year, I suppose the pain gets a bit less. Or my memory gets worse:). But I'm still grateful that I get to live with the lessons he taught me every day. But I also have to work a hell of a lot harder to be a man he would be proud of.
