Oh Denise -- please put a picture of you two as a teen...I was SO hoping we would see that beautiful child...with her Daddy!
Such a touching writing....my deepest condolences Denise, and while I imagine there is some healing -- I feel the longing and the missing...it's beautiful. Your Dad would be so proud and touched to be remembered as you are...
I'm closing up Medium for the day...and I thank you for this gift of a read!
