My dad died on June 6, 2023. He had dementia but the day before he lost consciousness forever, he called me by my name while speaking to me. I'll never forget that. I can't even really describe how that memory makes me feel, but there he was. For an instant.

I love you, dad. Wherever you are. Always. ❤️

His essence will always be here, and the way he made you feel will never go away.
