This week I lost my Dad, and the world feels different now. There’s a hole in my soul that I can’t put into words. Life will never be the same without him.
For years we looked after both my Mom and Dad as they fought their battles with Alzheimer’s. We watched them slowly slip away, piece by piece, and I did everything I could to give them dignity, comfort, and love right to the end. Being their son, and their caregiver, changed me forever.
Now they’re both gone, and the quiet is heavy. I miss their voices, their stories, even the hard days. I miss them.
Dad… I hope you know how much you meant to me. I hope you felt how deeply you were loved. I’m grateful for every moment, even the difficult ones, because they were ours.
Mom and Dad, I carry you with me. Always.
