Missing Dad

So I had a weird experience today.   We decided to go to PetCo for dog food, it is farther away than pet smart, today.  As we were driving home I saw the Kaufman Big and Tall store.  I suddenly had this vivid memory of Dad and Barbara walking in there.  I saw them walk in there before he got sick.  It was just as though it was the same time of day (even though it was dark out).  I don't think I can explain it very well - it was just so real.  

I think for a while now I have been okay with Dad.  But with this everything came flooding back.   I do miss him.  I can remember his long strides as he was walking into that store with his blue coat that I now have hanging on my coat rack.  Even driving to Colorado Mills Mall the other day to buy pjs for the kids - I kept thinking about the days I visited Dad at Jyoti's.

I think it might get harder as it gets closer to May.  If it does for anyone else, I would love to talk about him.  It might help.

Last night I had a major cry fest... I was fine, got in bed, then something hit me and I was so sad and so angry. It was like everything just happened or was happening in that moment. I haven't cried that hard in a while.

It just isn't fair and I want him back!!

That is so weird because that was the same as me - I started bawling at night as well. I wonder what that is about. Both of us around the same time, I haven't cried that hard either in a long time.
